Title Squilla (Mantis shrimp) fishery of Karnataka state
 
Creator Sukumaran, K K
 
Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description The stomatopod squilla, locally known as 'pucha' or
'puchi' (Malayalam: Che///), are marine crustaceans, caught
In varying quantities exclusively by shrimp trawlers operating
up to 50 m depth all along the east and west coasts of India.
Owing to the presence of large number of spines on the
body and the low flesh content, it is not being eaten at
present in our country. However, it is in considerable demand
since it is a good raw material for converting into fishmeal,
poultry feed and manure.
