| Description |
Elasmobranchs (sharks, rays, skates and guitarfishes) form one of the important commercial fisheries of West Bengal. They are not targeted but usually occur as by-catch and due to demand for sharks in the national and international markets are remunerative. West Bengal contributes 10.51% to the total elasmobranch landing of India. The local demand for shark or rays is very little but fish trading and processing units which supply such products to distant places such as Kochi, Chennai, Visakhapatnam and even to the international market procure sharks from the fishermen.
