Description Present status of exploitation of fish and shellfish resources: Oil sardine
Considerable fluctuations coupled with a general decline in the oil sardine landings have been observed along
the southwest coast of India during 1984-85 to 198889. The catch and effort data for oilsardine fishery during the
different seasons have revealed that premonsoon period is the most productive period for the fishery. The decline
in the fishery is attributed to the indiscriminate exploitation of juveniles and potential spawners by purse seiners and
ring seins. T he traditional &or has k e n a diversely affected by the operations of purse seines in recent years in northern
Kerala Exploitation of spawning st& of oilsardine during the b d n g from May to September is of great
consequences far the conservation of the resources. Even though good m o n soon is most likely to have a positive Impact
on the stock size and facilitate spawning and recruitment, the likely advantage is offset by Indiscreminate exploitation.
Regulation of mesh size of boat seines and restricting the operations of purse and ring seine are expecteded to
restore the fishery to its preeminent position and protect the interests of the traditional sector .
