    (Fishtech Reporter, 2020) V. R., Madhu; R. K., Renjith; P. S, Nobi; R, Raghu Prakash; S., Velvizhi; Mariasingarayan, Yosuva; A., Sakthivel
    The flower shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus), fishery is restricted to the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay region of south eastern Tamil Nadu. Gillnets contribute about 12% of the landings along northern Palk-bay (Josileen et al. 2019) and the rest by indigenous sail assisted fishing (Thallu valai) (Sampson et al., 1987). The rest of the landings is contributed by mechanized trawl sector. The landings of this species are reported to reach about 80% in trawl fishery during peak seasons (Kumar et al., 2017) but considering the average yearly landing, P. semisulcatus may contribute 3-5% of total shrimp landing (Siva et al., 2012).
