Description Metapenceus monoceros, Fabricius is one of the three species of Penaeids contributing
to the commercial prawn fishery of the Cochin backwaters. The
following notes have been prepared from a study of samples collected from
both paddy field and backwater catches during the period 1952-55 and
offshore trawl net catches during 1957. Samples of backwater catches were
collected from places like Kumbalangi, near the southern end, Pallippuram
at the northern end and Narakkal at about the middle of the Cochin backwaters.
A total number of 15,899 specimens have been measured and studied
during the period.
