Description The commercial fisheries for penaeid prawns of the southwest coast of India are
supported by several species that often oocur simultaneously. It is a known fact that
these prawns -breed in the sea and their planktonic larvae enter the estuaries and backwaters
as they transform into late my.is or postlarval stages. The establishment of
the correct identity of the postlarval forms of each of the constituents of this multispecies
fishery is essential in order to understand the dyna~ics of the juvenile and
adult populations. This is particularly so, when the juveniles as well as adults are
subjected to commercial exploitation. Differentiation of these developinB stages into
their respective species has been rendered difficult owing to their apparent similarities
in shape, size and habits.
