Abstract

The trawl ban period in Kerala during June - July, witnesses bustling activity in different fish landing centres. Ring seines and gillnets are mostly operated in dugout/rigged canoes. Among the crustaceans, Metapenaeus dobsoni and Penaeus indicus are primarily caught during this period. This study explores the biology of these shrimp in 2023 and 2024. By analysing the size range, maturity, fecundity, and stomach contents of the shrimp species captured during June & July, the study offers insights into their reproductive cycles and feeding habits during the monsoon trawl ban
