Description The biology and fishery of Indian Penaeid prawns of commercial importance
particularly of the south-west coast, are being studied in detail by the Central
Marine Fisheries Research Station and some of the results obtained so far
have been already published (Menon 1951, 1953, 1954, 1955 and Panikkar
and Menon, 1955). The present contribution deals with the sex ratio at
successive stages of life in four species, namely, Metapenceus dobsoni, Pentms
indicus, Metapenceus affinis and Parapemeopsis stylifera. Some observations
on this aspect in relation to M. dobsoni have been included in the
second of the two, papers dealing with its biology (1955). The discovery of
the wide disparity in the proportion of the sexes in the third year of life of
this species provided the incentive for a more extensive study of the problem
in the same species as well as in three other species also.
