Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Though the prawn, Parapenaeopsis stylifera does not contribute much to'" the fishery along the south-east coast of India,
its abrupt seasonal appearance during July~November along the coasts of Thirunelveli, Kanyakumari and Trivandrum,
which amounted to about 1,614 t during 1981-86 seasons, is of great interest from the point of view of its biology and
behaviour. Of the two major trawling grounds off Thirunelveli. Manappad Madai sustains a good seasonal fishery for
the species, the landing in 1978 being 163 t. However. fishery to the north of Manappad along the south-east coast is
of lesser magnitude and does not show any seasonal pattern of occurrence. It is interesting to note that in comparison
with the fishery for the species at Neendakara in the south-west coast, the fishery off Manappad shows higher size-frequency
distribution with more mature specimens and the peak season occurs in the months of October-November. These facts
possibly indicate the movement of the species towards south from Neendakara and to further north upto Manappad,
round the Cape Comorin as recorded in the case of Penaeus indicus.
