prawns in India

Subject Acetes
Crustacean Fisheries
Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Prawns other than penaeids account for an average annual production of nearly 34 thousand tonnes, not
including the production figures of biackisb water palaemonid prawns from the various lakes and backwaters
along the coastline. In the total marine prawn fishery of tht different zones of the Indian coast the
non-penaeids average to 47-9%. Nearly 90% of these catches come from the Maharashtra and Gujarat
coast. The species which are most abundant are Acetes indicus, Palaemon tenuipes, Palaemon styliferus
and Hippolysmata ensirostris. The distribution of these and other species are given in detail and the magnitude
of their fishery in different areas depicted. An estimate of the population of these prawns along the Maharashtra
coast is made by the fishing success method in order to study the trend of present production and
the rate of exploitation. Mention is made about the commercial potentialities of the recent finding of
pandalid prawns in the deeper waters off Kerala.
