Abstract

IN a previous paper (1951) an attempt was made to present a detailed account
of the various larval stages of the penaeid prawn Metapenceus dobsoni, together
with brief notes on some aspects of its bionomics. Since then a considerable
amount of data relating to the species has accumulated in the course of the
investigations at Narakkal from October 1951 with special reference to the
paddy field prawn fishery. When this fishery was not in operation, i.e.,
from about the middle of April to about the middle of November, samples
of pravm catches from backwaters have been studied in order that data on
the species for the whole year would be available.
