Seriolina nigrofasciata (Ruppell, 1829) is a broadly distributed non-schooling, solitary species in the depth realm of 20 to 150 m. It feeds on demersal fish, cephalopods and prawns. Stray landing of Seriolina nigrofasciata were observed at New Ferry Wharf by trawlers from the later half of February '05 and continued up to the second week of March'O5. On 26-2-05 about 300 kg of this fish were landed. The total length of the fish ranged between 30 to 60 cm with the mode at 45 cm. This fish is a very good export commodity and the entire catch was sold to exporters. It is known as 'butter' because of its extremely soft flesh and is considered a delicacy. It fetched Rs. 701kg at the landing centre. Seriolina nigrofnsciuta Prepared by: Jaidev Hotgi,  Sujit  Sundararn and Umesh.H.Rane. Murnbai Research Centre of CMFRI, Mumbai
