Title Fluctuation in the indian oil sardine fishery—an explanation
 
Creator Sam Bennet, P
 
Subject Oil sardine
 
Description Fluctuation in annual catch of the Indian oil sardine are related to the fluctuations in the strength of the
new year-class recruited in the fishery. The strength of the recruit class does not seem to depend only on the
strength of the spawning stock, but on the total stock. Thus an exceptionally strong recruit class may vitally
affect the strength of the recruit class of subsequent years. An analysis of year-class composition of the commercial
catch and a knowledge of the strength of the recruit class may help to predict the fishing success for
subsequent one or two years. Intensive fishing of an unusually strong year-class rather than general restriction
in fishery seems to be a solution for stabilizing the widely fluctuating fishery.
