Description The marine shrimp fishery in Kerala existed even before the advent of the Indo-Norwegian project. (INP), but
the genesis of a commercial-scale fishery happened due to the INP. Earlier fished by artisanal crafts and gears,
the introduction of trawlers saw the establishment of shrimps as the major marine fishery commodity. The
penaeid shrimps Metapenaeus dobsoni, Parapenaeopsis stylifera, Penaeus indicus, Metapenaeus monoceros
and Metapenaeus affinis are prominent in the inshore shrimp fishery of the state. Many developmental changes
which happened from time to time in craft and gear technology and the extension of fishing grounds brought
considerable changes in the fishing pattern have influenced the inshore shrimp fishery of Kerala which can be
classified into five phases – primary, growth, declining, enhanced growth and stagnant.
