7.2.1 Introduction
Spiny lobsters are abundant in Gulf of Kutch, Maharastra,Gulf of Mannar and Andaman Nicobar islands. It is a valuable fishery resource for the country as it brings in huge foreign exchange and a much demanded sea food in the world. In recent years there has been a decline in the catch due to over- exploitation of juveniles and spawning females. It is necessary to protect this valuable resource by artificial seed production and ranching. This has been emphasized by many natural and biological researchers in the world. There are many bottle necks in the hatchery seed production of lobsters. However, constantly efforts are being made to overcome the bottle necks and make the seed production possible. Clear understanding of the basic reproductive biology and physiology of lobsters is essential to make success in the seed production. |
