Description Seerfishes are esteemed table fishes. In India,
they are considered as one of the high value
resources due to their superior quality meat,
high economic return and export market.
Seerfish fishery is important to artisanal
fishermen who use driftnet/gillner/hooks and
line employing country crafts with or without
out-board engines and medium size boats with
inboard engines, in the coastal waters of 25-
60 m depth. They are the target species for
to 16.9% during 1998-02 indicating attainment
of optimum production. The annual production
during 1998-02 varied from 42,578 t in 2001
to 54,871 t in 1998 with an average of 48,847t
forming 1.9% of the marine fish landing of the
country. The east coast which ranked first in
seerfish production during 1950s and 1960s
with around 60% contribution had
progressively been reduced to 40% in 1990s
and during 1998-02.
