The redtoothed triggerfish (Odonus niger) of the
family Balistidae is a reef associated species landed
by trawl nets operated along the Karnataka coast. This
species forms dense aggregations in inshore waters
and were not targeted till recently due to their poor
market demand. The triggerfish shoals are intentionally
avoided by the trawlers and the incidental catches are
either discarded or brought ashore when there is
available deck space for storage. Such small quantities
landed are auctioned along with the miscellaneous
fish groups. Some interest was evinced on this species
by the fish meal traders due to limited availability of
raw materials during the year 2008.
