Biology of Acetes indicus was investigated from coastal waters of Bombay during
January 1981 to March 1983. Total length of males and females ranged
between 8-25 and 8-36 mm respectively, exhibiting growth rates of 6.02 and
5.83 mm per month. The lifespan of the species was 4-6 months. The lengthweight
relationship was LogW=1.9925 + 2.9698 LogL for the males and females
together. The relationship between total length and carapace length was calculated
as C = 0.3828 + 0.2185L. The species subsists mainly on detritus and
planktonic organisms by filter feeding mechanism. The size at first maturity
was 14-15 mm for males and 17 mm for females. It breeds throughout the year
with peak during September- January period. The sex ratio exhibited dominance
of males until 20-21 mm size and females thereafter. Fecundity has been
estimated to be 4,333-10,300 for females in the size range 19-33 mm.
