Description Distribution and abundance of carangid groups of fish along the EEZ of India
based on the data collected during 80 cruises undertaken by FORV Sagar Sampada
is presented here. East coast of India showed maximum concentration of ctrangids
with a catch rate of 64 kg/hr along the northeast coast. The least distribution was
noticed along the northwest coast ( 5 kg/hr). Carangids formed up to a maximum of
19 % of the total bottom trawl catch along the northwest coast. With more than 20
species of carangids reported to be caught in various cruises, Decapterus spp formed
the most dominant group, followed by species like Atule mate, Selar crumenophthalmus,
Carangoides malabaricus etc. Depthwise distribution showed higher
density in the 60-80 m range all along the coast excepting the Andaman-Nicobar
archipelago. Areawise, higher densities of carangids were noticed at latitude-longitude
7°N - 77°E, 1TN - 75°E, 1TN - 79°E, 14°N - 80°E , 18°N - 72°E, 19°N -85°E
and 19°N -86°E. Seasonally, carangids were represented in the catch more during the
monsoon especially along the northeast and southwest coasts. Potential yield of
carangids along the EEZ of India is estimated to be 94971 tonne.
