Abstract

In India, though lobsters form only 0.12 ± 0.06% of total marine landings, they form an important export product comprising 1.07 ± 0.44% in quantity and 2.59 ± 1.15% in value. Total annual landings have been fluctuating between 1587 to 2917 tonne s for the past fifteen years (1985-2000) with the highest landing of 4075 tonnes in 1985 (Fig.l). Heavy demand and attractive price for lobsters in the internationa l marke t have resulte d in increased exploitation of lobsters. Unless new grounds are located, scope for improvement in the fishery in the coming years is limited. The multi-species and multi-gear lobster fishery involving both traditional and mechanised fishermen poses multitude of problems for management of this valuable resource from overexploitation an d conservation.
