D. Sudarasan and P. J. Joseph

Abstract

The location of a potentially rich fishing ground for prawns off West Bengal during exploratory surveys by M. V. matsya vigyani is reported. The concentration of prawns appears to be at depths of 50 to 80 m. Metapeneaus ensis (de Haan) forms an important constituent. M. monoceros (Fabricius) is also abundant. Corranercial feasibility of outrigger trawl fishing is indicated and the need for intensive surveys is highlighted.
