Subject Elasmobranch Fisheries
 
Description Elasmobranchs were present in 100 trawling stations of depth up to 170 m, along
the Indian EEZ, where the FORV Sagar Sampada carried out fishing operations
during her first hundred cruises. Abundance and distribution of sharks, skates and
rays in the different latitudinal zones are discussed. The catchable potential of this
resource up to the 50 m depth zone has been estimated as 64934 tonne. Elasmobranchs
being on exploitable resource, the potential yield beyond 50 m in the EEZ is
estimated as 88985 m tonne. Though the maximum catch was obtained from the
southwest area, the maximum c.p.u of elasmobranchs was observed to be along the
northwest region.
