Description 650-653
The presence of the large-sized diamondback squid
Thysanoteuthis rhombus (Troschel, 1857) in the Gulf of Mannar
biosphere was confirmed after a two-decade absence, based on a
single specimen observed during landings at the Pamban
lighthouse Fish Landing Centre. A squid measuring 633 mm in
mantle length and weighing 15.1 kg was caught in the hook and
line at a depth of 20 m. The discovery of this species in the Gulf
of Mannar unequivocally confirms that the population is still
present in the ecosystem
