Abstract

The thesis deals with the biochemical composition of the most important tissues, haemolymph and muscle, of M. monoceros, P . monodon and P . indicus in the wild state and under cultured conditions in the brackishwater ponds. Observations on the sex-wise, length-weight relationships in these prawns are integrated to provide a meaningful interpretation. Similar studies were made on variation in the biochemical composition of haemolymph and muscle in relation to sex, size, weight and condition factor. The intra and inter - relationships between the different factors operating at the different phases of growth and maturation of gonads are investigated to bring out the significant factors. There were no earlier studies on these lines in literature.
