Description On 5.9.2009, a catch comprising 15 specimens
of pompano dolphinfish, Coryphaena equiselis
(Linnaeus, 1758) was landed at Chennai Fisheries
Harbour by mechanised gillnet. The mechanised
gillnets operated usually at a depth between 30 and
50 m at a distance of 30-40 km north of Chennai
towards Andhra Pradesh. Since, trawlnets and
mechanised gillnets are the main fishing gears
operated off Chennai coast, fishes belonging to the
family Coryphaenidae formed part of regular
landings by these two gears. Normally common
dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus formed regular
fishery along this coast.
