ALL fish are not equal in commercial value. Species like tuna and perch carry high value and are targeted by fishers while smaller fish are discarded. This discard, or bycatch, is gaining importance. A study from Tamil Nadu coast shows the bycatch market has grown so much in the past decade that some fishers have begun to target bycatch species. Though this minimises wastage, it could lead to depletion of small fish along with the commercially important ones.
