| Description |
An experimental artificial habitat for spiny lobsters was created in the sea off Vellapatti, a fishing village near Tuticorin in the Gulf of Mannar during June 1997. A total of 49 modules fabricated out of 147 stoneware pipes were used to create the artificial habitat which covered a floor area of approximately 1000 sq. m. Inhabitation of lobsters in the artificial habitat was recordedfor the first time three months after the installation of the modules. Both Panulirus ornatus and P.homarus were encountered in bottom set gill net catches operated in the vicinity of the artificial habitat. |
