The METHODS first comprehensive catalogue of Indian deep sea Crustacea (Decapoda, Macrura and Anomala) was The checklist was prepared based on the collection compiled by Alcock (1901). This was followed by several of information from available published/reported works from extensive surveys of shrimp resources in literature, such as research articles, monographs, different regions of the Indian coast (e.g., Kunju 1960; manuals, books, species checklists and technical George 1966; Muthu & George 1971; Mohamed & reports.
