export commodity of lndia. Though widely distributed along the entire coast, major fishery is
located on the northwest, the southwest and the southeast coasts. Although nine species of spiny
lobsters (Palinuridae) have been reported from the Indian coast (Radhakrishnan, 1993, only three
littoral and one deep sea form are commercially important. Among the six species reported from
the northwest region (Chhapgar and Deshmukh, 1971), two species, the palinurid spiny lobster
