Description Metapenaeus monoceros, (Fabricius 1798)
the ‘brown shrimp’ is a commercially important
prawn in the backwaters and estuaries, and up to
about 100 m depth in the sea. Many have worked
on different aspects of this species as it contributes
to the fishery in many countries bordering the
Arabian Sea. Notable among them are George (1959,
1970, 1974), George et al. (1963, 1988), Mohamed
and Rao (1971), Rao (1973a), Subrahmanyam (1965,
1967a, 1973), Kuttyamma (1973), Rao and
Krishnamoorthi (1990), Nalini (1976), Lalithadevi
(1988), Nandakumar and Srinath (1999) and
Dineshbabu (2006). Rao (1985, 1988a, 1988b, 1988c,
1988d, 1989, 1993c, 1994) studied the fishery and
biology of the species along the Kakinada coast
while Nandakumar (1998, 2000, 2001a, 2001b, 2004)
studied the biology and fishery of the species at
Cochin. Sukumaran et al. (1993) gave a
comprehensive account on the fishery, biology and
population dynamics of the resource on an all-India
basis.
