The main objective was to ascertain the distribution and abundance of each of the main commercial and some non-commercial penaeid species. The main data collection was performed off the Judy B with cruises repeated every month for 13 months; some other vessels were involved at different times (Kalinda, Raptis Pearl, Sprightly). Trawling was conducted at night and consisting of 30 minute shots. All prawns were sorted by species (general codes used) and sex, but no weights were recorded. Catch rates were expressed as number of prawns caught per net per hour. There were more than four sampling plans. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[138.0, -18.0], [142.5, -18.0], [142.5, -11.0], [138.0, -11.0], [138.0, -18.0]]]} 138.0 142.5 -18.0 -11.0 Documentation Link documentDigital This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License HTML
