Description On the13th of July 2009, unusual heavy landings
of Aluterus monoceros (unicorn leather jacket) of the
family Monacanthidae were observed along the
coast, from Vizhinjam to Marianadu about 40 km
north of Vizhinjam (Fig. 1). These fishes, locally
known as “komban clathy” or “mara clathy” are rarely
observed in large numbers in the landings at
Vizhinjam which has become a subject of surprise
to the fishermen. This has been the first incident of
such a heavy landing of bigger sized unicorn leather
jacket in this area.
