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.
