Description Available information on the length-weight relationship, age
and growth for some elasmobranch species was compiled and
growth parameters discussed. Food and feeding habits studied for
some species indicated preferences, except tiger shark, for certain
food. In some cases there is shifting of food habits as the young
shark grows to adulthood. Starvation of female sharks is a notable
feature during advanced stage of pregnancy. The three types of
development exhibited by different species are discussed. The size
of litter, the relationship between the length of mother and litter
size and fecundity are dealt with. Landings of elasmobranchs over
the years were steadily increasing. There was spurt in landings
during mid seventies. In recent years the elasmobranch production
appeared to be stabilizing and a sign of stagnation in the landings
is evident. Group wise, reqion wise and gear wise landings are discussed.
