Creator Murty, V Sriramachandra
 
Subject Threadfin Breams
 
Description ij^he threadfin-breams of the family Nemipteridae form one
of tlie xa^jor demersal fishery resources of India and are exploited by
small commncial trawlers along both coasts in depths extending
upto 70 m. The present catches form about 2% of total landings
from the seas around India. Kerala State accounts for the maximum
catch (3S%), followed by Maharashtra (21%). Gujarat (S%) and
other maritime States. The exploratory survej^ beyond.the pre«
sent fishing grounds have revealed that threadiia«breams are more
abundant in the depth range 7S-12S m, the catch of these fishes
contributing to about 7S% of the total catch from this depth range.
The presNit exploitation, thus, is marginal, since the areas where
there are larger concentrations of these fishes are now unfished.
