Dogtooth tuna, Gymnosarda unicolor (Rüppell, 1838)
(Fig. 1) is a pelagic tuna preferring waters of temperature
between 21 and 26 oC. It is one of the principal species
exploited by hook and line (recreational as well as
commercial fishery) operated in the oceanic region. Meat
of dogtooth tuna is white and so it has great demand and
fetch high price (IUCN, 2011). However, occasional
ciguatera fish poisoning in humans has been reported on
consumption of dogtooth tuna. It is exported in fresh and
frozen state and is used for the production of sashimi,
canned tuna, and pouch products. Most of the world
landings of dogtooth tuna during 1963 -2006 was from the
Indian Ocean. Small scale tuna long lines for the species
operating in the Indian Ocean belong to Taiwan, Srilanka,
Maldives, Japan or Pakistan
