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. Not Available |
