Description Crustaceans are one of the most valuable resources in the marine fishery in India and
contributed an overall average of 14.9 % to the total landings during 1996-2019. Marine
commercial crustacean resources mainly comprised of penaeid prawns, non-penaeid prawns,
crabs, lobsters and stomatopods. Many species are exploited along the east and west coasts of
India, mainly in trawls, seines and gill nets. The state of Gujarat was leading in overall
Crustacean production contributing 30.2% of all India landings, followed by States of
Maharashtra (22.5%) and Kerala (12.9%). The overall trend of the fishery (1981-2020) showed
increase at national level, recording a maximum landing of 532851 tonnes during 2011 and the
lowest, 192324 tonnes during 1981 with an overall average of 390063 tonnes. Resource-wise
trend also, showed increase except for lobsters and stomatopods.
