Annotated Bibliography of Commercially Important Prawns and Prawn Fisheries of India

Abstract

Research and Development efforts on marine fisheries of the country have contributed to a rapid growth of literature. However, no attempts have so far been made to develop bibliographies on commercially important species/groups of marine fishes of India, so that the large community of research workers and fishery managers could be benefited. Therefore, to begin with, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has taken up a programme of compilation of 'Annotated Bibliographies' on major commercially important fisheries like those of prawns, oil sardine, mackerel, silver-bellies, ribbon-fishes and Bombay-duck.
