Subject Decapods
Eggs and Larvae
 
Description A wide variety of decapod larvae is characteristic of the inshore plankton of
Mandapam (q. v., Prasad, 1954) but the specific identity of many of these larvae is
still unknown. Our present knowledge of the decapod larvae of Indian
waters is mostly based on the pioneering work of Menon (1933, 1937 and 1940)
who, however, could not determine the species in many cases because of the
inadequacy of material in some cases and the difficulty he experienced in getting
the earliest larval stages hatched in the laboratory. He remarks that: This
difficulty in getting the earliest stage from the eggs renders the identification of the
plankton specimens a very difficult task.
