Description 449-456
An attempt is made to assess to potential demersal resources of the central west coast of India between lat 13 degrees N-18 degrees N,long 71 degrees -74 degrees E during the southwest monsoon (June-September) season, from the data collected from 1983-1993. The monsoon period fishery resources are identified as nemipterids from July to September in zone 2 (100-200 m) between lat. 13 degrees N-17 degrees N. Priacanthids are found in patches mainly between lat. 14 degrees -16 degrees N. The reef cods are found distributed along lat. 14 degrees -15 degrees N in zone 1 and 2 during the end of August and September months and lat. 14 degrees -18 degrees N in zone 2 during the end of September. The resources are concentrated in the region of Bhatkal and Vengurla respectively. Cephalopods are found concentrated between lat. 13 degrees -15 degrees N especially from 80 m-130 m from July to October from Mangalore to Bhatkal. Mackerels in the catches are found during June and July months along lat. 13 degrees =14 degrees N in zone 1 off Mangalore. Some resources which are known to concentrate during monsoon months therefore can be exploited judicially.
