In Maharashtra especially in the suburbs of
Mumbai city (Versova, Cuffe Parade, Madh, Vasai,
Alibaug) an exclusive targeted fishery exists for
white sardine, Escualosa thoracata. This fishery has
been in existence for the past four decades and is
conducted by local fishermen. Locally this fish is
called Bhiljee due to its silvery-white shiny
appearance. Nearly 20-50 small motorized or nonmotorized
canoes (15-20 feet), small boats with
inboard/outboard engines (16-26 feet, 1-2 cylinder)
conduct fishing in the near shore areas (within 2-5
km) at depths of 2-8 m using special small meshed
(18 - 22 mm mesh size) drift gillnets called “bhiljee
jaal”. Length of the net ranges from 40 -100 m with
a height of 1.1 to 1.3 m. Each boat has a crew of
2 - 5 people. Each boat takes 8 -15 nets depending
upon the number of crew.
