The sciaenid fishery of the Indian Ocean is reviewed. Coastal areas of the Indian Ocean are
divided into various geographical zones such as east coast of Africa, Red Sea, Arabian and Persian
Coast, Pakistan and Indian Coast, Burma and west coast of Malaya, west coast of Indonesia and the
western coast of Australia. Hie sciaenid fish landings of each zone is studied.
34 species of sciaenid fishes are considered commercially important among the 48 species of
sciaenids occurring in the Indian Ocean. Species composition of the sciaenid fishes in each of the
above zone is discussed in detail. The landings of each species is estimated and tabulated. The total
landing of the sciaenids in the Indian Ocean is estimated to be about 198,480 tonnes. Otolithes cuvieri
is considered to be the most abundant sciaenid forming about 14% (27,5331) of the sciaenid landing
of the Indian Ocean. The next important species was Pterotolithes lateoides with 12.7% (25,464 t).
The northwest coast of India was the most productive area for the sciaenids contributing about 26%
of the sciaenid catch of the Indian Ocean, Burma Coast was also another rich area accounting
16.0% of the catch.
