Lakshadweep islands boast of having one of the most sustainable fishing techniques for tuna fisheries - the pole and line. Fisheries, especially the skipjack tuna pole & line fishery is the mainstay of the economy of the islands. On the strength of its very low ecological impacts, the fishery is in course to attain the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certificate. However, the livebait fisheries, the ancillary fishery of the pole and line fishing, has interaction with the ecosystem as the fishing is done inside the lagoon or near reef areas where the corals and associated resources are at bounty. The changing fishing intensity by way of enhanced craft size and increased duration exerts added pressure on the livebait resources. The integrated island management plan (IIMP) mandates use of this zone in line with a well worked out management plan. All these call for exploitation of the livebait resources in line with a science based fisheries management plan. Thus, the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute under its in-house research project “Resource assessment and management framework for sustainable marine fisheries of Lakshadweep” developed this document.
