Description Carangids occupy 9th position with a production of 1.11 lakh tonnes, constituting
4.1% of 2.7 million t of marine fish production in India during 2000. Among the
pelagic fishery resources, carangids constitute the fourth important resource and
rank next to oil sardine, ribbonfishes and mackerel. This resource is comprised
mainly of horse mackerels, round scads, queenfishes, trevallies, leatherjackets and
pompanos and has emerged as one of the important resources especially in the
mechanised sector. As many as 35 and odd species belonging to 21 genera have
been observed to support the carangid fishery along the Indian coast and other
species occur in stray catches. Small growing species like Selaroides leptolepis
attain a maximum of 185 mm where as queenfishes and jacks grow to 1-2 m. The
smaller species usually occur in large schools in shallow waters. Owing to the recent
approach of value addition the economic importance of small sized carangids have
also increased considerably. Considering the economic and commercial importance
of this resource, a detailed account on the fishery, biology and stock assessment of
11 species have been reviewed.
