Description At Kasimedu Fishing Harbour, Chennai, about
40-50 multiday thangal trawlers operate regularly. Out
of this, 3-6 trawlers operated daily for deepsea prawns
during the period Feb - April, 2008. Deepsea fishes
were landed along with deepsea prawns. An unusually
high catch of the cusk eel Monomitopus nigripinnis
(Family: Ophidiidae) was recorded during the said
period. The deepsea fishing operations were carried
out in the south-east direction within a distance of
40-60 km at a depth of 150-200 fathoms. The same
species came in 2009 also in low quantities.
