Description Tharuvaikulam is a fishing village near Tuticorin
on the southeast coast of Tamil Nadu. Fishing by
bottom-set gill nets is carried out off Tharuvaikulam
almost round the year. Normally, the swimming crab
Portunus pelagicus dominates the catches. But at
times lobsters are also encountered in the catches
in good numbers. Two species of lobsters namely,
Panidirus omatus and P. homarus constitute the
lobster fishery off Tharuvaikulam coast.
