Title Stomatopods as a potential resource
 
Creator Shanbhogue, S L
 
Subject Stomatopods
 
Description The stomatopods are consumed by people as food in some countries like the Philippines and Japan in
the Indo-Pacific region. In the south west coast of India stomatopods are landed in fairly large quantities
by the shrimp trawlers. The catch mainly constitutes a single species, namely,[Oratosquilla nepa. It forms nearly
10 to 20 % of the catch in a shrimp trawler. At present they are used only as manure. The present price value
of stomatopods caught by a single shrimp trawler in a day varies from Rs. 5 to Rs. 50 depending on the catch.
The flesh content in stomatopods is little but it could be consumed as food or could very well be converted
into fish meal. There is considerable scope for the development of this potential resource.
