| Abstract | Results of 60 deep sea trawling operations conducted from FORV Sagar Sampada in the Exclusive Economic Zone off southwest coast of India, during cruise Nos. 97 and 99, January-April 1992, are presented in this paper with a view to substantiate or update the existing database on deep sea resources. 95.7 tonnes of fish and shellfish were Landed during a total trawling effort of 55 It 30 min spread over 17-7°N lat., within 50-500 m depth. Nemipterus was the most dominant species contributing 66.7% of the total landings, followed by Decapterus sp. 9.7%, Priacanthus sp. 5.9%, Centrolophus sp. 5.0%, Chlorophthalmus sp. 2.3%, large elasmobranchs 1.2%, Saurida sp. 1.2%, Trichiurus auriga 1.1%, deep sea prawns 0.8%, Sphyraena sp. 0.5%, deep sea lobster 0.4%, cephalopods 0.4%, high value perches 0.2%, Neopinnula sp. 0.2%, Psenes sp. 0.2%, swarming crabs (Charybdis sp.) 0.2%, catfish 0.1% and miscellaneous fish 3.9%. Distribution of CPUE for total catch and for quantitatively and economically significant species groups are given by depth and latitude zones. |
