Description A review of the research work carried out so far on various
aspects of the carangid resources has been made in this paper based
mainly on the published contributions of Central Marine Fisheries
research Institute. The fluctuations in the fishery since 1950 and
its present status, in the light of the improved tackling devices and
changed fishing patterns, have been analysed. A drastic increase
in the landings was noticed since 1985 which was mainly due to
the mechanization of the country crafts, the use of purse seine and
ringseine, intensification of trawling and the introduction of multiday
fishing. The studies on the food and feeding habits have revealed
that almost all species of carangids are pelagic carnivores, feeding
mainly on a variety of smaller crustaceans and fishes. The stock
assessment studies conducted on certain commercially important
species have shown that most of them are either optimally or
under-exploited and hence there is scope for increasing the production
without adverse effect on the sustainability of the stocks.
