Description The fish belonging to the Family lactariidae commonly called
whitefish/false trevally/big-jawed jumper is represented by a single species
Lactarius lactarius (Bloch and Schneider, 1801 ) and is widely distributed in
Indian waters. Though, L. lactarius has high demand in coastal markets,
there is no concerted study on the stocks and population structure from any
of the Indian coasts. Hence, the present investigation was undertaken to
study its biology, stock and population characteristics from Karnataka waters.
The findings would help to evolve suitable management measures for the
rational exploitation of the white fish resources olong the Kornataka coast.
Data for the present study were collected from three major fish landing
centres of Karnataka state viz., Mangalore, Malpe and Karwar during
September 1997 -August 1999.
Besides the key characters of the family lactariidae and the genus
Lactarius, the species has been described in detail for easy identification
based on the morphological, morphmetric and meristic characters.
