Description In capture fisheries management, fish populations play a critical role in deciding management units
employed. Projects like FishPopTrace have been employed in Europe, facilitating use of genetic data and
morphological markers, including otoliths for this purpose. Multispecies, multi-gear fisheries landing
closely resembling species mixes found in a common ecosystem or fishing ground is widespread in the
Indian EEZ. Pomfrets are a low -volume, high value marine fishery in India and an important targeted
fishery resource in the Indian Ocean region. However, the taxonomy of the genus Pampus has remained
complex till date, with literature indicating several cryptic species leading to misidentification and
nomenclature issues. This has serious ramifications for traceability concerns in seafood trade and supply
chains as well to address sustainability concerns while preparing species specific fisheries management
plans. A recent study involving an integrative taxonomic approach with conventional taxonomy tools
as well as genetic data and otolith structure, has helped to clarify the taxonomic status of the genus
Pampus in the Indian EEZ and the new findings with a global outlook is summarized below.
