Abstract

One of the most conspicuous features of the "dol" net fishery along the
Maharashtra coast is the enormous abundance of the small marine palaemonid,
Nematopalaemon tenuipes. The only other maritime state where the species
supports a commercial fishery is Gujarat (Banerji 1966). It is largely a marine
species capable of penetrating estuarine areas, from where it is often commercially
exploited, as in the case of the Godavary estuary (Ganapati and Subrahmanyam
1966) and the Sunderbans (Kunju 1956, Rajyalakshmi 1966). The
species was formerly known as Leander tenuipes {vide Holthuis 1950 for synonymy
and Kemp 1917 for identification keys of the different species of the
genus
