Description Not Available
Fishes of the family Balistidae are commonly
known as trigger fishes. Globally the family is
represented by about 40 species belonging to
11 genera. The name triggerfish arose as the second
dorsal spine act as a trigger to the first dorsal fin.
Locally they are known as ‘Kilathi’ in Tamil. Though
they used to occur in trawl catch of Tuticorin coast
from time immemorial, they were thrown back into
the sea by fishermen mainly due to lack of market
demand and also for want of onboard storage space.
Trawlers used to avoid areas of their congregation as
they considered it a menace leading to wastage of
energy and time.
