Lobsters inhabit our tropical waters in different concentrations in some parts of our coasts. The
average annual catch of lobsters during the 10 year period of 1975-84 was 1763 toni.es forming 0.82%
among the crustaceans ano 0.12 % in the total marire fish landings. Of these 73.56 % was from Gujarat
and Maharashtra and 19.45 % from Tamil Nadu. Of the 6 species of spiny lobsters recorded, only
3 of them ana one species of slipper lobster support the fishery of this country. The catches
of Panulirus polyphagus and Thenus orientalis were substantial forming about 46.71% and 46.44%
respectively. The catch of Panulirus homarus was poor contributing to only 5.89% while that of
Panulirus ornatus was almost negligible, being 0.96%.
Hie magnitude of the catch for P. homarus and P. ornatus is so small that they Should not be ex ploited more than the existing rate from the present fishing grounds. Either new grounds have to
be found or the population should be raised by culture practices to meet the demand of the market.
