Description Lakshadweep is a group of scattered islands in the
Arabian Sea lying in between 8° and 12°30' N and
71° and 74° E. Of these, only ten islands are inhabited. An
organised fishery for commercially important tunas such
as skipjack and yellowfin are in vogue only at Minicoy
and Agatti Islands, Suheli Pars and reef areas at Cheriyapanium
and Baliyapanium. Monitoring of the trend of
fishery, and collection and dissemination of information
on the stocks of these species in and around the Eh^^ of
Lakshadweep are of prime importance for the development
of the existing small scale fishery in these islands.
The coral islands of Lakshadweep group with their extensive
coral reefs and lagoons harbour a variety of fauna
with complex interrelationships in the reef ecosystem.
Many of the ichthyofauna inhabiting these ecosystems
are being used as "tuna live-baits" in the Pole and Line
fishery which is the major fishing method employed in
these islands for harvesting tunas.
