The relationship between dorsal mantle length (DML) and total body weight (TBW) for males, TBW = 0.0008414 * DML 2.57989 and for females, TBW = 0.0009723 * DML 2.55201. Fish formed the major food item in both the sexes (87.1% in males and 86% in females) followed by prawns. Females were dominant in the catch with a sex-ratio of 1:1.24.
