Subject Pelagic Fisheries
 
Description Tunas constitute one of the economically important marine fisheries resources
and during 1985-99, their production from Indian seas fluctuated between 24,287 t
(1987) and 53,662 t (1992) with an annual average production of about 40,200 t
forming 3.6% of the total pelagic fish production. The status of exploitation of
coastal tunas occurring in the Indian seas in recent years has been dealt with
elsewhere. The stock assessment of tunas occurring in the Exclusive Economic
Zone (EEZ) of India has been attempted at periodic intervals. After the published
studies based on data during the period 1984-88, considerable changes in the trend
of production were recorded since 1989, making it imperative to carry out a reexamination
of the population parameters, status of exploitation and stock assessment
of tunas from the Indian seas.
