Description This study deals with seasonal variation in species composition
of commercially important fishery resources caught by shore
seines along Poovar in Thiruvananthapuram district, south
west coast of India. The estimated annual average fish
landings by shore seines amounted to 22.5 t caught at a
catch per unit (CPU) of 74.17 kg and catch per hour (CPH) of
18.54 kg during August 2012 to September 2014. The
fishery, mostly represented by fin fishes (99%) comprising of
43 species belonging to pelagic and demersal groups, was
dominated by sardines, anchovies and silver bellies. The peak
fishing season was observed as post-monsoon contributing
54% of total fish landings, followed by pre-monsoon and
monsoon seasons. A detailed study on the species
composition with their size distribution was carried out for
the first time from Poovar. The deleterious impact of shore
seine operation on account of exploitation of bulk catches of
juveniles of commercially valuable fishery resources is
discussed along with suitable suggestions for proper
management of the fishery.
