Abstract

Parapenaeopsis stylifera is one of the most abundant and highly valued shrimp species in India. It forms about 20% of the penaeid shrimp catch of Karnataka with the period from January to June contributing the majority of the catch. In general, the post-monsoon months of August to December is considered as a lean period for P. stylifera. During this period single day fishing trawlers land catch of a mixture of fish, prawns, stomatopods and other crustaceans. The contribution of prawns in the catch is around 10 to 20%.
