Title Fishery and bionomics of tunas at Mangalore
 
Creator Muthiah, C
 
Subject Tuna fisheries
 
Description Karnataka waters, on the upper part of S.W. coast
of India produce an average total of 786 tonnes of tuna
annually (1972-'81) forming 0.7% of the state's marine
fish catch and 5 % of the total tuna catch of India. Of
late, the production rate of this resource in the state
had gone upto an average of 1,729 tonnes per year
(1979-81). This rapid progress was achieved by the
introduction of modern fishing techniques such as
purse seining, deployment of mechanised crafts for
drift gill netting and synthetic materials for gears.
