Abstract

The east coast of India with a coast line of 2,688 \nkm and continental shelf area of about 0.56 million \nkm2, provides a good habitat for the penaeid prawns \nin the adult phase. There are five major perennial \nrivers, number of creeks and low-lying areas offering \nnursery grounds for post larvae and juveniles that \nmigrate to the sea after completion of nursery phase \nto get recruited to the fishery. Though as many as \n23 species of penaeids are recorded along the east \ncoast only about 19 species are supporting the \nregular fishery
