Landings of Indian oil sardine, Sardinella
longiceps were investigated at Rameswaram during
November, 2015 – January 2016 period. It was
exploited mainly by pair trawlers, which operate a
trawl net, locally known as Rettaimadi. The oil
sardine fishery by pair trawlers initiated was long
back (Marichamy et al., 1992, Mar. Fish. Infor. Serv.
T & E Ser., 17:18-19) but lack of transportation and
absence of marketing avenues for oil sardine did
not encourage adoption of this fishing method.
However the current trend of neighbouring states
to access these landings, encouraged the fishers
to operate about 200 pair trawlers during the fishing
season of 2015 -16. There were about 12- 13 fishing
days in a month as per the government records.
The fish merchants and agents from Kerala and
Karnataka came to the landing centres with ice and
lorries for transporting and marketing oil sardine,
both fresh as well as spoiled ones for fishmeal
plants. The estimated catch of oil sardine from Palk
Bay Rameswaram for the season was 1,03,200 t.
The Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) varied from 5 to
20 tonnes (t).
