Description Pearl spot, Etroplus suratensis, locally known
as Karimeen, is one of the most important cultivable
finfish in Kerala. In India, wild populations of pearl
spot have been recorded from the states of Kerala,
Tamil Nadu, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and West
Bengal. A fully grown fish can reach about 40 cm
length and weigh about one and half kilogram.
Though a brackishwater fish, it is also found in
freshwater reservoirs, lakes and rivers but its
breeding is limited in freshwater.
