Indian Exclusive Economic Zone had been analyzed for the period January 2005 to
December 2007. While longnose lancetfish is caught from almost all the areas
surveyed in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman and Nicobar waters, it is is not

lancetfish in the Indian EEZ can be related to the existence of perennial
Oxygen Minimum Zone in the northern Arabian Sea. Present study also consists
the results of preliminary studies on the biology of this species.
