Description Lobsters are among the most priced seafood delicacies enjoying a
special demand in international markets. As against a world average annual
productio'n of2.1 lakh tonnes, India's average annual lobster production is about
2000 tonnes. With the distinction of being perhaps, the only seafood resource
in India's trade economy, which remains relatively low down the ladder in terms
of quantity of production but brings in maximum foreign exchange, lobsters
have been the subject of study for more than two decades now. The lobster
fishery in India is supported by two groups of lobsters - the spiny lobsters (Palinurus
homarus, P. polyphagus, P. ornatus and P. versicolor) and the scylla rid lobster
(Thenus orientalis).
