Subject Fisheries Resources Assessment
 
Description Scanty information is available regarding trawl fishery resources of the waters of the South-East
coast of India in the Gulf of Mannar. Until the establishment of the Offshore Fishing Station of the
Government of India at Tuticorin in 1958, no organisation has conducted trawling alorg scientifc lines
for charting the offshore fishing grounds, in order to delineate the distribution of commercially importent
fish and prawns in space and time. Since 1959, exploratory trawling by medium-sized trawlers has been
mainly conductedin the offshore waters around Tuticorin between latitude 8° 00'-9° 10' N and longitude
77°30'-79° 00'E. The results show that fairly rich fishing grounds exist in this area. The psrer
indicates scope for further exploitation of the grounds so far charted.
