Abstract
Bottom set gillnet operations for crabs is a common fishing practice along Chennai coast which also brings in catches of sciaenids, flatfishes and rays. One specimen of the giant clam killer lobster, Scyllarides tridacnophaga Holthuis, 1967 (Infraorder: Palinuridea; Superfamily Palinuroidea; Family: Scyllaridae) was obtained in a bottom set gillnet cast at 20 fathoms off Kovalam, Chennai, during July 2011. Although this species has been reported earlier from Rameswaram and from the west coast, this is the first report from Chennai coast. The species is known to be distributed in the Indo-West Pacifc region, from East Africa, Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Pakistan to the west coast of Thailand.
