Title The seasonal fishery for Penaeus indicus along the southwest and southeast coasts of India
 
Creator Manisseri, Mary K
 
Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Kanyakumari and Manappad coasts is seasonal, commencing by May-June
and closing by October-November. Annual landing of the species ranged
from 559 t to 1204 t during 1981-86. This fishery commences by the onset
of the southwest monsoon, and is constituted by large-sized prawns
(modes 15!-155 mm to 171-175 mm in males and 196-200 mm in females).
The high percentage (48%) of maturing and mature prawns indicates a
breeding population contributing to the fishery. Occurrence of P. indicus
population in sequence along the fishing centres of the southwest and
southeast coasts suggests probable migration of the prawn from the
former to the latter coast during the fishing season. This confirms the
presently believed migratory behaviour of the species.
