Description Scombroids, an economically important fishery
resource consisting of 15 genera and 49 species
of tunas, billfishes, seerfishes and mackerel;
are a dominant exploitable resource in the coastal
as well as oceanic pelagic realm. Although the annual
catchable potential of scombroids in the Indian
EEZ is estimated to be around 758,000 t,
the present yield is only about 300,000 t, worth
more than Rs. 10 billion, and their demand in the
domestic and export markets Is on the increase.
