Abstract
In the present work, to study tidal and
lunar influences on penaeid prawn seed
abundance, collections of water and seed
samples were made on 21 August, 1986 (full
moon), 5 September, 1986 (New Moon) and
12 September, 1986 (half moon) in the Kali
estuary, Karwar where tides are of sem i-diurnal
type. In each lunar phase, collections were
made every three hour intervals commencing
from 06.00 to 18.00 h covering four tidal
phases: high, receding, low and rising tides.
