Abstract

Exploratory surveys carried out since 1965 by fishing vessels belonging to different governmental agencies have revealed the occurrence of commercially Important deep sea crustaceans in trawlable concentration along the south-west coast of India. An area of 3300 sq. km lying between quilon and Alapuzha, popularly known as 'Quilon Bank' was found to be a rich ground for deep sea prawns and lobsters. Lying between Lat. 8°N and 9°N, the bottom slope in the 'Quilon bank' is interrupted by a flat area between 275 and 375 m which is ideally suited for bottom trawling operation for deep sea crustaceans. The three IndoNorwegian project vessels 'Klaus Sunnana', 'Velameen' and 'Tuna' carried out exploratory surveys during 1967-69 along the south-west coast and brought out a wealth of information on distribution, abundance, catch composition of deepsea crustacean resources and population characteristics of commercially important species of prawns and deep sea lobster.
