Description:
The survey was conducted during 2010 and 2011 on the banana prawn stocks in Sirik to Dargahan in Strait of
Hormoz. Samples was taken by bottom trawl boats monthly. Growth in the prawns (male and female) was
allometric and length of maturity in female was 31.7 (mm CL). Spawning season was occurred in winter from
Jan to March. Growth parameters (K, L_∞) were 1.6 y^-1 and 49 (mm CL) for female and 1.9 y^-1 and 38 (mm CL)
for male respectively. Instantaneus mortality rate (M, F and Z) calculated 2.6, 1 and 3.6 y^-1 for female and 3.1,
1.4 and 4.5 y^-1 for male respectively. Banana shrimp recruited at to fishing ground in Jun and Jul. Opening time
for starting catch at 2010 was calculated at 28/09/2010 and total allowable catch was 1380 tones. At 2011
starting catch was calculated at 29/09/2011 and total allowable catch was 1480 tones. Time for end of catch
season were stimated at 04/11/2010 and 21/11/2011 for each year. According to yield per recruit model, the best
