    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 landings

    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.Sc
    Fishes 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.

    STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF BIOLOGY AND BODY COMPOSITION OF AN EMERGING FISHERY OF PUFFER FISH, LAGOCEPHALUSINERMIS OFF MANGALORE COAST
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) KISHOR, K. T., B.F.SC
    The fisheries sector is a source of income and livelihood for millions of people around the world. Marine fisheries are increasingly becoming one of the highly globalized sectors of the world economy. Trade in fish represents a significant source of foreign currency earnings, in addition to the sectorâ s important role in employment, income generation and food security. It should be noted that the declining global catch in the last few years, together with the increased percentage of overexploited, depleted or recovering stocks and the decreased proportion of underexploited and moderately exploited species around the world, strengthens the likelihood that the production of wild capture fisheries will not be able to increase unless effective management plans are put in place to rebuild overfished stocks.

    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.Sc
    Among 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).

    STUDIES ON BREEDING SEASONALITY OF OTOLITHES RUBER (SCHNEIDER, 1801) ALONG DAKSHINA KANNADA COAST WITH A NOTE ON THE IMPACT OF MONSOON FISHING BAN ON THE LIVELIHOOD OF FISHERFOLK
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) RAVI KUMAR, N. D., B.F.Sc.
    Fisheries, a sunrise sector of our economy, play an important role in the socioeconomic development of India, in view of its contribution to the food basket, nutritional and 0.50 million kmâ of continental shelf area. The estimated annual production potential of marine fishery resources of India is 3.90 million tones presently. The contribution of fisheries sector to GDP has been estimated to be 1.24% (Shyam, 2007). Fish is a cheap source of animal protein, has an annual per capita consumption of 9 kg in India as compared to the 11 kg recommended by WHO The marine fish landing of India in 2009 is estimated as 3.16 million tones. The pelagic fishes constituted 52%, demersal fishes 28%, crustaceans 16% and molluscs 4% of the total landings. The west coast and east coast accounted for 56% and 44% respectively (Anon, 201 Oa). stimulating several subsidiary enterprises. Most importantly, fisheries is a source of livelihood for a large section of the economically backward population (Ayyappan, 2006b). The country has 8,129 km of coastline security, sustainable large foreign exchange earnings, generation of employment and income, besides

    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.Sc
    Flatfishes 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).

    REPRODUCTIVE BIOLOGY OF COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT INDIAN SQUID, LOLIGO DUVAUCELIDâ ORBIGNY, WITH A NOTE ON THE IMPACT OF THE USE OF SATELLITE INFORMATION IN LOCATING POTENTIAL FISHING ZONES OFF MANGALORE AND MALPE COASTS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2010) NENAVATH RAJENDRA NAIK, B. F. Sc.
    Cephalopods are purely marine in habitat and there are about 6000 living species in the world waters. They are considered as the fastest marine invertebrates. Among the cephalopods, squids, cuttlefish and octopuses form the important marine fishery resources of India, ranking next only to finfish and shellfish (shrimps and lobsters). In fact, the squid or the cuttlefish was the first item to be picked up and thrown over board from the trawl catch since fishermen feel that the ink they squirt would contaminate the shrimp catch. As such, until the mid seventies there have been considerable constraints in the exploitation of this resource leave alone getting catch statistics of squid and cuttlefish. Times have changed and it is treated as an important resource today. The possibilities of export of cephalopod including squids and cuttlefishes to Japan in frozen form since the mid seventies was an incentive to the fishermen to save squid and cuttlefishes for processing, these being picked up and segregated separately in basket or containers on deck in the mechanized fishing boats (Ayyappan, 2006).
