Abstract
Mark-recovery experiments conducted with the help of suture tags on Indian spinylobster Panulirus homarus (Linn.) showed that their movement in the fishing ground is
of a very restricted nature. Long migratory movements were not observed. The
species grows very fast and attains commercial size by the end of first year after the
puerulus stage settles down to the bottom of the fishing ground. The growth rate
slows down after the second year! Sizes attained at successive ages have been estimated
with the help of von Bertalanffy's growth equation. The commercial fishery is largely
supported by 1 st and 2nd year animals
