Description Commercial exploitation of lobsters
from the Indian seas began in the 1950s. Annual
landings have been declining from a peak of 4075 t
in 1985 to 1364 t in 2002. Major fisheries were
located on the north-west, south-west, and south-east
coasts. Among the 12 species recorded, only four
species of spiny lobsters (three littoral and one deep
sea) and one species of slipper lobster are commercially
important.
