Title Notes on the Bionomics and Fishery of the Prawn
Parapenaeopsis stylifera (M. Edw.) on the
Malabar Coast
 
Creator Menon, M K
 
Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description Parapenaeopsis stylifern is one of the commercially important species
of penaeids of the Malabar Coast. Unlike most other penaeids belonging
to the genera Penaeus and Metapenaeus it is a purely marine species, rarely
migrating into estuaries and backwaters. The following notes are based
on the study of samples collected from the regular departmental catches
of fish at the West Hill substation during the years 1949-'50 and '50-'51.
Fishing was usually done in the foreshore waters up to a depth of
4 fathoms; but in '50-'51 the operations were extended once a fortnight
up to 8-9 fathoms. In addition to these, material procured from the
Kozhikode market has also been examined.
