Fish landing
 
Description Although trigger fishes are obtained in stray
numbers during trawl catches, unusually large
specimens are observed in the long trip trawlers
operating at 60-100 mts depth. The size ranged
from 38 to 43 cm and the catch from 50 to 100
kg/boat. A record landing of about 185.5 tonnes
was estimated during the year 2000 at Veraval.
The samples collected on 24.11.2000 were identified
as the starry triggerfish, Abalistes stellatus
(Lacepede, 1798).
