Description The success of the pole and line fishery of
Lakshadweep depends, among other factors,
directly on the availability in sufficient quantities
of suitable live-bait fishes around the islands.
Information on the live-bait resources of Lakshadweep
is limited to a few reports from Minicoy-
Jones (1958, 1964) described the fishing
method, storage and utilisation of bait fish and
Iisted the various species of live-bait fishes of
Lakshadweep. Jones (1961 a, 1961 b) has
predicted the potentialities of Spratelloides
delicatulus and S. japonicus as live-bait for pole
and line fishery for skipjack much earlier than
mechanised fishing was introduced in the northern
islands of Lakshadweep. Thomas (1964)
made some observations on the fluctuations in
the live-bait fishes at Minicoy. Fluctuations in
the seasonal availability of live-baits at Minicoy
during the years 1981-85 has been presented by
Pillai et al. (1986). However, details of exploited
bait fish resources and seasonal abundance of
different bait species around the various islands
is still lacking.
