    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.

    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

    STUDIES ON BIODIVERSITY OF PELAGIC FISHES OF MANGALORE COAST
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2013) NAYANA, P. , B.F.sa.
    The pelagic fish are the one which live in the near-surface waters of the ocean, often far from shore. They are highly migratory and generally show shoaling behaviour. These fishes are known for their rapid growth and, high rates of reproduction, as well as their remarkable swimming speed and stamina (Anon., 2009). Unlike near shore pelagic species or bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their lives near islands, pelagic fish move freely in the oceanic environment. Pelagic fishes comprise different taxonomic groups, which contribute to their rich species diversity and abundance (Ayyappan et al., 2011). Variations in the distribution and abundance of these nomadic species are often related to differences between their life history profiles, migration patterns and habits that are affected by ever-changing environmental influences, such as water temperature, current patterns and the availability of food (Anon., 2009).

    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).
