Unusual fish mortality in Minicoy Lagoon
The article reports that except atherinids, all fishes other fishes were affected due to low oxygen level
Gill net fishery off Veraval during 1982-1990
The fishery resources off Veraval are exploited intensively mainly by two gears, viz., trawl and gill nets. The gill net fishery has undergone changes by way of introduction of many out-board motorised canoes. Two types of crafts, wooden and FRP dugout canoes (with out-board engine) and plankbuilt boats are used for gill net fishing. Effort has remained almost constant during the 9 years. Fishes belonging to 10 groups formed about
98% of the gill net fishery

Record size Gizzard Shad and Titan CardinalямБsh landed
The Indo-PaciямБc genus Holapogon universally known
as titan cardinalямБsh is represented by a single species
Holapogon maximus (Boulenger, 1888) which are
purely marine, mostly found in 38 to 100 m depths.
In recent years particularly during post monsoon
Revival of bleached Zoanthus sociatus (Ellis & Solander, 1786) in the intertidal waters of Thikkodi, Malabar coast, Kerala
Revival of SST induced bleached anthozoan; Zoanthus sociatus in the intertidal zone of Thikkodi,
Calicut was investigated for a period of 67 days from May to July 2010. Regaining of chlorophyll
pigments of symbiotic zooxanthellae in the bleached Zoanthus colonies was correlated with reduction
in SST indicating a temperature linked bleachin
The Indian mackerel
The Indian mackerel forms the major pelagic resources along
the Indian coast Its trend of production fiuctuates in space and time.
Several scientists have conducted considerable research works on its
biology, fishery and population structure from various parts of its distributional
range at different periods of time. Its fishing pattern witnessed
large changes in response to mechanisation, motorisation,
innovative gear and synthetic nets, together with extension of fishing
to deeper grounds. The paper reviews the status of mackerel fisheries
research that were carried out in CMFRI since 1950 through regular
monitoring programme for its sustainable harves
Rare Palmate octopus landed
In recent years, the octopus fishery is gaining importance
due to the increase in the export demands. The catches of
the same has been steadily increasing due to the expansion
of the trawl fishing activities into the deeper waters. They
are mainly landed as by-catch in the trawl landings. The
octopus landings in Malabar are mainly supported by
the species like Amphioctopus neglectus, A. marginatus,
Octopus vulgaris, Cistopus indicus, Callistoctopus luteus
etc. However, in the last week of August 2018 rare
palmate octopus Tremoctopus gracilis were observed
Seagrass Meadows and Conservation
Seagrasses are submerged monocotyleodnous flowering plants adapted to complete their life cycle below the sea surface. They harbour rich diversity of marine flora and fauna of commercial imprtance; and help prevent beach erosioan and siltation. Seagrass meadows are facing numerous challenges and threats in the present context and need urgent conservation strategies for increasing fish wealth and sea health
Stray occurrences of Bombay duck from the Malabar Coast of Kerala
The Bombay duck, Harpadon nehereus (Hamilton,
1822) form a major single species fishery along the
Northwest coast from Ratnagiri in Maharashtra to the
Gulf of Kutch in Saurashtra coast. They also form a
seasonal fishery along Northeast coast (West Bengal &
Odisha) and the northern part of Andhra Pradesh. The
fishery is usually concentrated in a comparatively narrow
depth zone up to 70 m and are mainly exploited by
stationary bag net known as 'Dol' which are operated
entirely by tidal forc
Rare fishes landed at Puthiappa landing Centre, Calicut
During a routine visit to Puthiappa fish
landing center on 13-8-2010 while
observing the trawl landings a few brightly
colored rare fish specimens were also
observed along with the landings of
threadfin breams and lizard fishes. The
rare specimens were later identified
as
1. Pseudanthias sp.,
2. Chelidoperca investigatoris (Alcock,
1895)
3. Roa jayakari (Norman, 1939
