Abstract
India's export earnings from fishery products have touched an all time record of Rs. 33.07 crores in 1969. The most important items which have contributed to this are processed prawn products, frozen lobster tails and frozen froglegs. Even though frogs are not of marine origin, they are processed and exported along with marine products so that for all practical purposes they are reckoned as seafoods. The following is an exhaustive list of the different species of prawns, lobsters and frogs that are found in our country, together with vernacular names wherever available, parts of India where they occur and the largest size (length) to which they grow. The different genera have been arranged in the order of their commercial importance and not according to any scientific principles. The main source of these informations is Bulletin no 14 of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute entitled "Prawn Fisheries of India," issued in August 1969, which may be consulted for further details regarding
taxonomy etc.
