Title A preliminary survey of the common tuna bait fishes of
Minicoy and their distribution in the Laccadive archipelago

Subject Fisheries Survey
Tuna fisheries
 
Description It is a recognized fact that the availability of bait fish in sufficient quantities is one of the most important deciding factors in the successful operation of pole-and-line fishing for tuna. In the Indian Union tuna fishing on an organized scale exists only in the island of Minicoy in the Laccadive Archipelago. The main species concerned are the oceanic skipjack Katsuwonus pelamis and to a comparatively lesser extent the yellow fin tuna Neothunnus macropterus. Fishing is done from country crafts provided with bait wells inside for storing the live bait collected from the lagoon while proceeding to the fishing grounds.
