Abstract

The growth of the prawn fishing industry in India in recent years is reviewed and the increasing value of prawn exports is tabulated. The most important fishery is for various penaeid species on the west coast . The commercially important species on all Indian coasts are listed, the geographical areas in which they are fished are defined, and notes are given on the maximum size attained by the species, the depths in which they are fished and the nets and boats used. More extensive culturing of prawns is recommended.
