Title An overview on the present status and future prcrdpects of
pelagic finfish resources of India
 
Creator Pillai, P P
 
Subject Pelagic Fisheries
 
Description Theresults of the studies on stock assessment made on I I commercially important pelagic fish grwps such
as oil sardine, lesser sardines, whitebaits, mackerel, tunas and billfishes, seerfihes, pomfmts, carangids,
ribbonfishes. Bombay duck and Hilsa shadbased on the data of 1984-88 arepresented. Detailed analysis of the
production and estimatedcatchable potential of major pelagic fish groups from the initial stages of mechaniza-
tion torccent years and in the traditional fishing areasof both thecoasts of India areindc The species which
havereached theoptimal level of exploitation and those which hold potential for fiuther exploitation have been
described. Theresults indicatedthat the stocksof oil sardine, mackerel,tunas, sec?rfishes, pomfnts and Bombay
duck in the traditional fishing grounds areexploited to or beyond their maximum sustainable yield, whereas
lesser sardines, whitebaits and all& species, oceanic tunas frequenting the shelf waters. carangids and
ribbonfishes have potential for marginal increase. Options open to obtain incnase in production to the level of
potential estimatesare briefly discussed,and the necessity of beaupost-harvest utilion of these finfishes
pointed wt.
