Abstract
The Kuruma prawn, Penaeus Japonicus,
which is endemic to northwest and western
central Pacific regions around Japan, Korea and
Papua-Guinea has been reported to occur in
small concentrations off the Indian coasts in isolated
areas. It forms a small fishery off Mumbal.
Its Juvenile abundance has been reported from
the backwaters adjoining Chennai. Being a larger
species fetching better price, its availability
in the Cuddalore region arouses considerable
commercial interest
