Description The estimated average annual landings of tunas along the
mainland coast of India during 1995-2002 was 36,720 t of which
75% was from the west coast. Maja species landed are Euthynnus
afiis, Auxis thazard, A. rochei, Katsuwonus pelamis, Thunnus
tonggol and Thunnus albacares. Among these, E. a#nis was the
most abundant tuna species along the West coast with an average
contribution of 42%. The southern States comprising Kerala,
Karnataka and Goa contribute nearly 72% to the total E. aflnis
landing along the west coast, the rest contributed by Gujarat and
Maharashtra. Other important coastal species include A. thazard on
the Southwest coast and T. tonggol on the Northwest coast. An
assessment of the stock of these dominant tuna species is presented
