At the Chennai fisheries harbour, the Poovalan shrimp holds the most important position in terms of average consumption.   In the areas between Ongole in south Andhra Pradesh and Nagapattinam to the south of Chennai, the Poovalan shrimp is believed to be fished from a depth of anywhere between 5-60 metres. The normal style to capture the same is using a trawl as that yields the best results possible. In Vishakhapatnam, it is found that both the fisheries of the east and west coast contribute their share and increase the potential growth of the variety.
