Description The total annual catch of baitfishes form pole and line fishing areas of Lakshadweep
is estimated to be 1251. At Minicoy, the average annual catch is estimated at 9.11 and
at Agatti it is estimated to be 51 t. Data from other baitfish fishing areas such as
Suheli, Valiapani and Cheriyapani are virtually non-existent. Management options
suggested earlier include the collection of fishery data from more areas, studying the
biology and understanding the stock of exploited species, culture of suitable species
and maintaining the health of the coral reefs of the islands. Future thrust areas for
research to elucidate the factors that determine the baitfish fishery include a full
review of the existing fishery and development of a baitfish statistics collection
system.
