Description Researchers at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) have identified a species of
ribbonfish, which grows only up to 35 cm, as the ones being mistaken for fish juveniles by conservation
activists and fishermen for the commercially important trichiurus lepturus, commonly called the
largehead hairtail, which can grow up to a size of 235 cm.
The large volume of the catch of the smaller ribbon fish trichiurus auriga, called pearly hairtail, was
reported off the coast of Thiruvananthapuram at a depth of 285 metres, the CMFRI report said. Around
10 tonnes of the smaller ribbon fish variety was caught in an expedition by ‗Sagar Sampada‘ of the
CMFRI in early December 2014.
