The ribbonfish resources

Che ribbonfishes are an important group of food fishes in India and their annual average production during 1971-*82 was estimated at 55,300 tonnes which formed 4.3% of the total marine fish landings and occupied 7th position. The studies indicate that various species of ribbonfishes constitute substantial fishery in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Maharashtra showing considerable variations in the species composition, season^ abundance and production trends

Catfish resource in the Indian shelf waters

At attempt is made to analyse the bottom trawl fishing data collected by 91 cmises of FORV Sagar Sampada (1985 - '91). The vessel trawled in 544 stations spread over both the coasts up to a depth of 100 m and catfishes appeared in 54 stations with catch 3 -2401 kg/hr. The dominant species occurred beyond 50 m depth belt was invariably Tachysurus thalassinus whereas shoaling species like T. tenuispinis and T.dussumieri are reported from grounds less than 50 m. The resource has better abundance in 51 -100 m depth belt along northwest and northeast region

An assessment of the bottom-trawl fishery resources of the northeast coast of India

An overview of the bottom trawl fishery resources of the continental shelf of the northeast coast (lat. 15° N-21° N and long. 80^ E-83° El has been attempted based on data collected from the exploratory fishery surveys conducted by the Govt. of India fishing vessels during 1961-1985. The 'swapt-area' method has been employed to estimate the standing stock, and 60% of this has bean reckoned as the potential yield The catch rates in the shelf region ranged between 1 l<g/hr in square 17-33 CI and 377 kg/hr in squares that yielded 150kg/hr or more are distributed widely both in the inshore and offshore grounds- The potential yield estimates for the area explored varied between 083 t/km2 in 20° H-Sl" E and 3 37 t/km^ in 19° N-35°
