Description The fishery, biology and stock of the spotted seerfish, Scomberomorus
guttatus (Bloch & Schneider) along Andhra Pradesh was studied during
2012-2014. The annual average landing of spotted seer during the
period along Andhra coast was 2,614 t. Major contributors were
trawlnets-1,104 t (42.2%) and gillnets-950 t (36.3%). Catches were
higher during August-December. Length-weight relationship varied
significantly between males, females and indeterminates. Growth was
isometric in males and allometric in females and indeterminates. Overall
sex ratio was 1:1.87. Length at first maturity was 38.9 cm. Peak
spawning was observed during November-April. Higher Gonadosomatic
index coincided with periods of peak spawning. Mature
ovaries contained both maturing (0.41 mm-0.70 mm) and matured
(0.71 mm-0.90 mm) ova. von Bertalanffy growth equation was
Lt = 71.98 [1-e -0.23 (t + 0.0722)]. Natural mortality, fishing mortality and total
mortality were 0.54, 0.49 and 1.03. Exploitation ratio was 0.48. Annual
total stocks, biomass and Maximum Sustainable Yield were 8,546 t,
5,335 t and 2,747 t. A minor increase in yield and yield/recruit is
possible by increasing the present level of fishing by 20%.
