Abstract

The stake net fishery study at the Cochin bar mouth revealed good quantities of the species have been noticed in the catches in certain months and the significant species is reported in this study.P. stylifera was contributed to 1.2, 1.4, 5.2 and 20.6% of the total penaeid prawn catches in February, May, June respectively during the year September, 1987. The percentage composition during 1988 in the months of February, July and September was 1.5, 0.4 and 31.3 respectively.Occurrence of P. stylifera which does in the stake net catches near the Cochin bar mouth during the monsoon and post-monsoon periods is interesting from the point of view of the local movement of the species and requires further studies based on intensive sampling.
