The subject on shrimps seems very
timely indeed, because not a day passes
without our hearing or reading something
about the shortage of prawns in
Kerala. There seems a general agreement
amongst the fishermen and the
fishery industrialists that the shrimp
stocks are on the decline. Such a complete
agreement, however, does not
exist among the fishery scientists. A
considerable apprehension is also being
expressed by the other maritime
states of India, for they feel that what
Kerala is facing today, they might have
to face later on
