Description Prawns and other crustaceans contribute about 15% of the total marine
fish landings in India. Our present annual production of prawns is over
100,000 tons, ranking next only to that of the U.S.A. Large quantities of
prawns are preserved by sundrying after previously boiling in salt solution
for the internal market as well as for export to Ceylon, Burma and Malaya.
A relatively small fraction is sent in ice to inland towns by rail or other conveyance.
In recent years a considerably valuable trade in export of frozen
prawns and lobsters to the U.S.A. has developed.
