This article is based on the Preliminary Report on the Study of Ghost Fishing Phenomena by Drifting Fish Aggregating Devices (DFADs) in the Eastern Indian Ocean, which aimed to assess the accidental mortalities of marine animals around the Drifting FADs in the Eastern Indian Ocean. The study was conducted from December 2002 to January 2003 during the shipboard purse seining cruise of the M.V. SEAFDEC, where data on the accidental catches of marine mammals and other marine fishes were collected from drifting and abandoned FADs. Results of the study indicated that marine turtles comprised the highest number of incidental catch from the drifting FADs followed by marine fishes such as leather jackets, triple tails, rainbow runners, sea chubs, wahoo, skipjack, barracuda, and remora as well as sharks and porpoises.
