Title Some observations on the fishery of Chorinemus lysan
Forskal of the Rameshwaram Island with notes on its
biology
 
Creator James, P S B R
 
Subject Fishery biology
Carangids
 
Description Several species of carangids are known to occur in the Palk Bay and Gulf
of Mannar in the vicinity of Mandapam of which Selaroides leptolepis, Selar
kalla, Caranx sexfasciatus, C. carangus C. ignobilis, Carangoides armatus, Atropus
atropus, Megalaspis cordyla and Chorinemus lysan are the most common species and
important from the fishery point of view. Krishnamurthi (1957) estimated that the
first three species mentioned above, usually caught in the shore seines, contributed
to 2.72% and i.66% of the total catch of fish on the Rameswaram Island in the
years 1952-53 and 1953-54 respectively. The occurrence of other species of carangids
has been stated to be sporadic and hence considered commercially unimportant
by him.
