    Abstract

    From the beginning of this century, large varieties of prawns belonging to families Penaeidae, Pasiphaeidae, Oplophoridae and Pandalidae have been reported from the west coast of India, particularly from southern regions beyond the continental shelf (Alcock 1901, 1906; de Man 1911, 1920; Calman 1939; John and Kurian 1959; Kurian 1964; George 1966; George and Rao 1966b; Suseelan and Mohamed 1968 and Suseelan 1974, 1989). However, existence of some of these species in commercially exploitable concentrations in these deeper waters has been brought to light only recently. Silas (1969) and Mohamed and Suseelan (1973) gave general accounts on the distribution and relative abundance of common species of prawns of the shelf-edge and upper continental slope of the southwest coast. Detailed review on deep-sea fisheries of India has been given recently by Rao (2009).
