Numerous species of triggerfish with varied colour patterns are found in and around Indian coastline. Their bright coloured body and rough sandpaper like skin make triggerfish distinctive. In the southwest coast of India, this group of fish are landed in sizable quantity by trawls but fetches very low value. Annual landings of triggerfish in India was 11520 t against the total marine landings of 25 18 305 t. The fish is edible but has a mild oily taste. The sensory attributes of fish meat are good, but its consumer preference as a food fish is low. At present, there is not much domestic demand for this fish. Fish liver oil is a rich source of poly unsaturated fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins. Odonus niger and Sufflamen capistratus, two species of triggerfish were reported as probable sources of fish liver oil. Under-utilization of this group of fishes for human consumption in the south west coast of India led to this study on exploring the possibility of extraction and characteristization of liver oil from trigger fish Batistes Spp.
