Description Sharks formed the major bycatch of pelagic longline and
gillnet fishery which target high value fishes like tunas
until recently. However, owing to the great demand for
fresh and dried shark meet in the domestic market and
expansion of fishing to distant waters there is targeted
fishing for sharks. In India, major portion of the sharks
caught by mechanized longliners and gillnetters are
landed in Cochin Fisheries Harbour and Thoothoor fish
landing centre. The annual catch of sharks in Kerala
during 2017 was estimated at 2936 tonnes, of which
80% was landed in Cochin Fisheries Harbour.
