Abstract

The gill-net fishery of Penaeus indicus H. Milne Edwards along Tuticorin coast was seasonal extending for a period of five to eight months. During the period 1990 - '92 the estimated annual landing of this species ranged from 7.7 to 25.0 tonnes. Prawns in the size range of 118 to 143 mrn in total length dominated the fishery:Sexes were more or less equally distributed and the proportion of mature females formed a significant proportion from June to August.
