Description Threadfin breams are one of the most dominant
group among the demersal fisheries resources along
the Kerala coast, landed mainly by multiday trawlers
operating beyond 100 m. Among the threadfin breams,
Nemipterus randalli is the most abundant species
contributing over 60% of threadfin bream landings of
the state. Large quantities of this species are landed
by trawlers at Cochin, Munambam and Neendakara
Fisheries Harbours of the state. Threadfin breams
locally known as “kilimeen” have good local demand
in fresh condition and is sold at ` 40-60/- per kg.
Peak landing occurs during August - September
months, immediately after south-west monsoon. The
present report is based on the observations made on
threadfin bream landings at the above landing centres
during 2010.
