Title Cat fish; General remarks and future approach
 
Creator Krishnamoorthi, B
 
Subject Catfish
 
Description Consequent upon the recent introduction
of mechanised fishing on a large scale with
trawls as the chief gear all along the Indian
coast, many hitherto less known demersal
fisheries have come to occupy a prime place on
the fisheries map of India. One such group is
the catfish assemblage. With an estimated
annual average catch of 52 thousand tonnes
over a five year period from 1977 to 1982, the
catfishes constituted about 4% of the total
estimated 'all-fish' catches. Though the increase
in the catfish landings was nominal during the
8-year period from 1962 to 1969, a three fold
increase was noticed during the succeeding
period up to and inclusive of 1984. This increasing
trend is reflected in the estimated
landings in most of the maritime states of India.
