Description The Indian mackerel Rastrelliger kanagurta (Cuvier), forms one of the two commercially
important pelagic fisheries of the west coast of India, the other being the oil
sardine. On an average 65,342 tonnes of this fish were landed annually during 1958-65
period and in the years 1958 and 1960 the total catch exceeded one lakh tonnes. This fish is
widely distributed in the Indo-Pacific areas extending from the African coast north of
Durban to the Polynesian group of Islands. Therefore, the problems facing the mackerel
fishery are being tackled on an international basis as recommended by the Indo-Pacifie
Fisheries council.
