Ever since deep-sea trawling started, Indian
Ocean Lobsterette (Nephropsis stewnrti)
were landed regularly at Mangalore Fisheries
Harbour. They were caught from a depth of 250-
500 m. The meat of this lobster is considered as
a delicacy and is procured by processing plants
for export. Since the meat content is less, the
price of the lobster is Rs. 20-25 Kg
