Potential vectors and sources of this recent invader include: 1) discharged ballast water from its native range in Asia or other areas where it has become established; 2) transport of larvae from established non-native populations in the Caribbean or South America via ocean currents; or 3) escape and subsequent migration from active aquaculture facilities in the western Atlantic.

Abstract The assessment of Penaeidae species diversity in a particular region is very important in formulating conservation strategies. In the present study, the survey on diversity of Penaeidae species in south east coast of India has been assessed on the basis of landing of variety of species in this group. Penaeidae species were collected from various main landing centers of south east coast of India for three years. Identification and nomenclature was done based on previously published literature. Among the 59 species observed, the Penaeus semisulcatus, Penaeus monodon and Fenneropenaeus indicus were found mostly in all landing centers.

K. Puram, New Delhi-110066 FOREWORD Salinity is a significant challenge and poses risks to sustainable development of Coastal regions of India. If left unmanaged, salinity has serious implications for water quality, biodiversity, agricultural productivity, supply of water for critical human needs and industry and the longevity of infrastructure. The Coastal Salinity has become a persistent problem due to ingress of the sea water inland. This is the most significant environmental and economical challenge and needs immediate attention. The coastal areas are more susceptible as these are pockets of development in the country. Most of the trade happens in the coastal areas which lead to extensive migration in the coastal areas. This led to the depletion of the coastal fresh water resources. Digging more and more deeper wells has led to the ingress of sea water into the fresh water aquifers turning them saline. The rainfall patterns, water resources, geology/hydro-geology vary from region to region along the coastal belt.

Their trophic function in the ocean, as well as their ecology and physiology in general, are extremely poorly known. During the ANTARES-4 survey (January and February 1999) their feeding dynamics were investigated in the south Indian Ocean. Results show that their in situ clearance rates may be among the highest recorded in any pelagic grazer, with up to 35 l h–1 per colony (length: 17.9 ± 4.3 [SD] cm). Gut pigment destruction rates, estimated for the first time in this tunicate group, are higher than those previously measured in salps and appendiculari- ans, ranging from 54 to virtually 100% (mean: 79.7 ± 19.8%) of total pigment ingested.

Menon Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) Tatapuram P.O., Cochin-682 014 Kerala, India 2000 The Indian tiger prawn Penaeiis monodon 33 Fabricius G. Sudhakara Rao ABSTRACT The largest penaeid Indian tiger prawn, Penaeus wanodon is widely distributed in the Indian waters and forms an important fish­ ery with high demand in tthe export market. By virtue ojits fast growth, hardness and export demand it is cultured in about 1 lakh ha of prawn farms with an annual yield of 82850 t. As the demand is very high it is subjected to heavy fishing pressure at laa stages of life history, seeds and brooders for farm and hatchery and all others for internal and export markets. The paper reviews the work done on its distribu­ tion, biology and capture fisheries from estuaries and marine habitats together with its stock assessment and management measures to keep the ujild population sustainable. Introduction The Indian tiger prawn P. monodon Fabricius is the largest species among the penaeids. P"or a long time there was confusion In the identification of this species. The designation of a neotype in place of the lost original type of Fabricius by Holthuis (1949) has finally resolved the century-long confusion of this species with P. semisulcatus de Haan. Although P. monodon is widely distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region, ranging from South Africa to Southern Japan, and from Karachi to northern New South Wales, it forms commercial fisheries only in the central part of the Indo-Pacific region (Mohamed, 1970; Motoh, 1981).

The West Atlantic species was first noted off Damietta, on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt, in 2012. This species has already been recorded in the Mediterranean Sea from the southeastern Levant to the Gulf of Lion, France. The impacts of the introduction of P. aztecus on the local biota, and in particular on the native and previously introduced penaeids, are as yet unknown. Shrimp farmers at the northern Nile Delta have been cultivating P. aztecus since 2016, depending on postlarvae and juveniles collected from the wild in the Damietta branch of the Nile estuary.
