Subject Crustacean Fisheries
 
Description Among edible crustaceans (shelled organism s) shrimp is considered
as a highly valuable commodity. The great economic use of this
resource for domestic and export purposes has led to over exploitation of
most of the major shrimp stocks of the world. According to World Fishery
Statistics, the global shrimp production, showing a rather slow annual
growth rate of 4.5 to 10% during 1981-87 period, has been stagnating at
about 2.5 million tonnes per year during 1988-90 period. The Indian ocean
accounts for an average of about 3.6 lakh tonnes (17%) annually, of which
nearly 65% com es from the Eastern region. While the fishery of this region
showed an upward trend during the past few years mainly due to increased
landings in Indonesia, Bangladesh and East coast of India, the fishery of
Western Indian Ocean remained more or less steady at about 2.3 lakh
tonnes. From the present level of shrimp production against the effort input
it is universally believed that further increase in production of this resource
from the conventional shrimp grounds is not possible to any appreciable
extent. This being the case, development of deep-sea shrimping and aquaculture
of shrimp has been given considerable stress as alternate means of
augmenting production through out the world.
