Abstract

Discarded fractions of the commercial landings along the coasts of Goa
were found to contain both young ones and adults of several species of prawns |
shrimps which seldom figure either in the catch statistics or among the component
species taken to constitute the catch. Observations spread over a period of 8 years
(1971-79) record the presence of about 28 species of prawns|shrimps in this
territory, and these are listed.
Specimens of Parapenaeopsis acctivirostris (Alcock) were obtained regularly,
though in very small numbers, from 25- to 45-meter depths during the period
December 1972 to May 1973, based on which some preliminary observations on
the biology of this species aire also presented.
