Subject Fish biology
 
Description Psettodes erumei (Schneider), popularly called the 'Indian Turbot' and
locally known as 'Bhakas' in Bombay, belongs to the group of flatfishes
known as Heterosomata. This group comprises the Halibut, Turbot, Sole
and Plaice, which in Western countries form a very important group of
commercial fishes. Off the Bombay coast, however, the flatfish fishery is
of lesser importance owing largely to a traditional prejudice against this
group of fishes and it was not until the introduction of trawlers that the
importance of flatfishes, particularly that of P. erumei, was realised. Not
only is there a considerable increase in the catch of this fish, but there is' a
progressive demand for it as a prime food fish. Considering these potentialities
investigation on the fishery of P. erumei and its biology was undertaken.
