Subject Seerfishes
 
Description The annual average catch of seerfishes from the Indian seas was 45,0601 during
1995-'99, which constituted 1.8% of the total marine fish catch in India. State-wise
Gujarat (28.5%) was the major producer followed by Tamilnadu (15.8%), Maharashtra
(15.4%), Andhra Pradesh (11.4%) and Kerala (10.5%). Gill net is the dominant
gear in exploiting seerfish followed by trawl, hooks & line, boat seines, shore seines
and purse seines. Among the five species, the kingseer Scomberomorus commerson
(59.0%) and the spotted seer S. guttatus (35.1%) sustained the fishery, while the
streaked seer S.lineolatus and the wahoo Acanthocybium solandri formed only a
negligible portion of the fishery
