Description Three numbers of Giant Manta ray, Manta
birostris locally known as “Aana Thirandi”
measuring 220, 291 and 285 cm in standard length
and weighing 680, 1080 and 1050 kg respectively
were landed at Cochin Fisheries Harbour on 27th
March, 2015 (Fig.1). The rays though landed by deep
sea trawler, were caught by mechanized gill net
boat operated at depth of 200 m off Kochi. Due to
the big size of the rays caught, the gill net fishermen
had transferred them to a deep sea trawler which
operated nearby.
