Description The study presents a comprehensive account on the fishery, biology and
population dynamics of Solenocera choprai along South Karnataka
coast during 2003-2004.
- ~ Trawling for the species was invariably carried out during the night
time from a depth of 60 to 100 m .
. .,..... Along Kamataka coast, S. choprai was landed only in two fisheries
harbours, Mangalore and Malpe and 86% of' the catch was landed at
Mangalore .
. ".,.., Unique sandy belt occurring from 50 m depth off Karnataka coast was
found to harbour the species, which have a habit of burrowing in the
soft sandy substratum, with the anterUlules of the species forming
respiratory tube enabling them to respire while burrowing in the sand.
~ The landing of S. choprai along the coast during the period of study
showed a declining trend from the previous years, the landings in 2003
and 2004 were 1,445 t and 752 t respectively .
. _~ Peak landing of the species was observed during September-October,
immediately after the commencement of fishing after the cessation of
southwest monsoon .
. ~ The regression equations of length-weight relations between male and
female were tested for equality showed that the values of slope and
elevation differed significantly at I % level.
