ThesisItem Unknown VALIDATION AND COMPARISION OF SPICIES IN NOTIFIED POTENTIAL FISHING ZONE (PFZ) AND NON-NOTIFIED AREAS OFF MANGALORE(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) SHILPA K, B. F. Sc.During 2005, the estimated marine production of India was 2.28 MT registering a 12% decrease in the catch as compared to the previous year. This is due to decline in the catches of Oil Sardine, mackerel, lesser-sardines, croakers, ribbon-fish, seer-fish, shrimps and Cephalopods. There was marginal increase in the catches of Bombay duck, Carangids and non- penaied shrimp. Contribution from the west coast accounted for 67% of total landings. The pelagic fin-fishes contributed 55% and demersals 26%, crustaceans 15% and molluscas 4% to the total landingsThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE BIOLOGY OF SAURIDA GRACILIS (QUOY & GAIMARD) OFF MANGALORE COAST(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) NAGARATHNA . R., B.F.ScFishes of the family Synodontidae or Scopelidae (Order: Myctophiformes) are popularly known as lizardfishes, which have a wide distribution in the Indo-pacific region. The principal regions supporting lizardfish fishery are East coast of Africa (excluding Kenya and Somalia), Madagaskar, Red sea, the Gulf, Pakistan, East and West Coast of India SriLanka, Malay Archipelago, East Indies, Australia, Gulf of Thailand, Philippines, China sea, Taiwan and Japan.ThesisItem Open Access STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE BIOLOGY OF COCIELLA CROCODILA (TILESIUS, 1812) OFF MANGALORE COAST(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) MAHESHA MURTHY A.S., B.F.ScAmong the marine living resources, fishes are of prime importance as source of food. Study of biology of fishes makes it an important kind of gathering knowledge for ultimate benefit of human kind. Many works on marine fish species are concentrated on commercially important quality table varieties. This leaves biology of many marine fishes yet to be sufficiently understood. Fishes of the family Platycephalidae (Order: Scorpaeniformes) which are popularly called as flat heads or crocodile fishes are bottom dwelling, carnivorous in nature. These small to medium sized fishes can usually be found in coastal and estuarine waters over mud or sandy bottom. But some species extend to the continental slope or associated with rocky shores and coral reefs. The fishes of this family are distributed in seas and estuaries of Indo-Pacific region (Paxton et al., 1989).ThesisItem Open Access SOME ASPECTS OF THE BIOLOGY OF PARAPLAGVSIA BILINEATA (BLOCH, 1784) WITH A NOTE ON THE FISHERY OF FLATFISHES FROM MANGALORE COAST(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) SATISH.N., B.F.ScFlatfishes are distributed virtually at all latitudes (Pauly, 1994). Flatfishes are characterized by their dorso-ventrally compressed body, with eyes sinistral or dextral. This group of fish is specialized in bottom dwelling and burrowing habits inhabiting benthic region occupying continental shelf and upper continental shelf. Flatfishes belong to the order Plueronectiformes which comprises flounders, turbots, plaices, halibuts, soles and tongue soles. Among these, some species of flounders, halibuts, turbots and soles form commercially important fisheries of considerable magnitude in several countries. Flatfishes have been and continued to be an important target for fisheries around the world and members of this singularly identifiable group of fishes are estimated to make up around 25% of ground fish landings worldwide (Pitcher 2006).The soles though they occur along both the coasts of India, constitute a fishery of considerable importance along the Malabar Coast next to the oil sardine, mackerel and shrimp fisheries. Flatfishes contributed about 1669.95 metric tones during the year 2006- 2007 to the total catch along the Mangalore coast forming 2.4 percent of the marine landings of this region ( Annual report. Department of fisheries. Govt, of Karnataka).ThesisItem Open Access SOME ASPECTS OE THE BIOLOGY OF THE OIL SARDINE, SARDINELLA LONGICEPS (VALENCIENNES) FROM THE MANGALORE COAST.(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) FANCY SOWMINI, J., B.F.Sccjupeid fishes (Class: Telostomi; Order: Clupeiformes) support one of the major fisheries and contribute considerably to the economy of several maritime countries in the world. The pelagic fisheries resources of India are largely of multispecies and multisector fisheries in nature.ThesisItem Unknown STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF THE BIOLOGY OF SAURIDA UNDOSQUAMIS (RICHARDSON, 1848) FROM MANGALORE WATERS(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2008) NAGESH, M. B.F.ScFishes of the family Synodontidae or Scopelidae (Order: Myctophiformes) are popularly known as lizardfishesThesisItem Open Access MORPHOLOGY, HISTOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF GILL RAKERS AND THEIR RELATION TO FOOD AND FEEDING IN SOME DEMERSAL FISHES OFF MANGALORE COAST(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) MAHESH. S, B.F.ScThe Priacanthus hamrur (Bulls eye), Nemipterus japonicus (Threadfm bream) and Cynoglossus macrostomus (Malabar sole) are very important demersal fish species. It is the most important resources in the demersal zone off the west coast of India, in certain years its commercial abundances extends to other sections of the west and east coast, it also support fishery in all parts of the Indo- Pacific regionThesisItem Open Access MORPHOLOGY, HISTOLOGY AND FUNCTIONS OF GILL RAKERS AND THEIR RELATION TO FOOD AND FEEDING IN SOME PELAGIC FISHES OFF MANGALORE COAST(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) MAHESH.G, B.F.ScThe Rastrelliger kanagurta (Indian mackerel), Megalaspis cordyla (Horse mackerel and Stolipharus indicus (anchovy), are very important pelagic fish species. These are among the most important resources in the pelagic zone off the west coast of India, in certain years its commercial abundances extends to other sections of the west and east coast, it also support fishery in all parts of the Indo- pacific region.ThesisItem Open Access FISHERIES OF PEARL SPOT, ETROPLUS SURATENSIS (BLOCH) FROM MULKY ESTUARY; REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY, RESOURCE STRUCTURE AND SOCIO-ECONOMICS OF FISHERFOLK(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2009) KAMALESH PANDA, B.F.ScFeeding more than seven billion people on earth through agriculture alone in an environmentally sustainable manner with nutritionally balanced diet is indeed a major challenge. Hence, people all over the world have started looking at aquatic resources as a major source for food production. The apprehension that Indian population may touch 1.75 billion by the middle of the 2Pâ century (Anon., 1994) calls for intensification of efforts to step up food production both from the land and water resources. With the constant encroachment of fertile agricultural land by the increased urbanization and industrialization, the extent of cultivable land is getting diminished. Therefore, the terrestrial ecosystem alone may not provide the necessary food security for the countries like India. Against this back drop, fish production by aquaculture practices is believed to play an important role in meeting the demand of proteinaceous food for the growing population. India is the largest country next to China in aquaculture production and accounts for nearly seven percent of the global aquaculmre output. Presently about 56% of the population in India is considered to include fish in their diet (Anon., 1996).
