Abstract

Tuticorin coast of Gulf of Mannar is endowed with rocky bottom, coral reefs and sea grass beds with characteristic flora and fauna. It also acts as home for several endangered marine mammals, sea cows and marine turtles. These resources were exploited by a variety of gears during 2000-2005. Average annual catch for the period was 36,851 tonnes (Table 1). Major gears and their contribution to the fishery are trawls (67.2%), mini-trawls (4.0%), gillnets (22.8%), hooks and line (3.3%) and shore seines (2.7%). Bony fishes belonging 73 families under 14 orders form the major catch (91.7%), (Table 2,3). Other constituents of the catch are elasmobranchs (3.66%), crustaceans (1.93%), molluscs (1.8%), seacucumber (0.01%) and other non-edible biota (0.09%).
