Includes bibliographical references. / The effects of the exploitation of prawns (Callianassa & Upogebia spp.) in Langebaan Lagoon, primarily for bait collecting, were assessed using field experiments and observations. Langebaan Lagoon has been a proclaimed National Park for 20 years and a proclaimed Marine Protected Area since 2000. The area is zoned for different human uses, about one third being reserved as a sanctuary, one third for non-extractive visitation and one third for extractive purposes including bait-collecting and fishing. Four species of prawns were identified in Langebaan Lagoon - C. kraussi, C. rotundicaudata, U. africana and U. capensis.
