I A. 5 DEMERSAL RESOURCES SURVEY, ASSESSMENTAND MONITORING OF FISH STOCKS ALONG SOUTH EAST COAST BETWEEN LAT.10°N - 16°N.

Project Co-ordinator

Shri A. Tiburtius, Zonal Director

Project Components

• Exploratory survey of demersal resources using fish trawl in 100-300m depth.
• Monitoring of demersal resources using fish trawl and shrimp trawl in 30-100m depth.
• Exploratory survey using shrimp trawl in 30-300m depth.
• Exploratory survey using cephalopod trawl in 30-300m.

Period : April 2021-March 2022

Survey of Research Objectives

• Preparation of species inventory of demersal fin fish and shell fish resources.
• Estimation of abundance indices of demersal fishery resources and major components thereof with emphasis on silver bellies, decapterids, mackerel, barracuda, caranx spp. squids, cuttlefish, perches, lizard fish, sciaenids, threadfin breams, catfish, upenoids and bulls eye.
• Identifying spatio-temporal distribution pattern of the above resources.
• Study of biological aspects of important species.
• Stock assessment of important resources.
• Imparting training in fishing techniques and demonstrations of modern equipments on board to fishermen, fishing industry representatives and entrepreneurs.

Base of operation : Chennai
Vessel : M.F.V. Samudrika

Gear

• 27.5 m Fish trawl (FT)
• 30 m Shrimp trawl (ST)
• 36.2 m Cephalopods trawl (CT)
• Resources specific gear (to be made by using square type mesh in cod end)

Vessel Officers

Skipper : Vacant
Fishing Engineer : Shri C. Murugan, Chief Engineer, Gr. II (Gr. I, In-charge)

Survey Strategy

• Stratified random sampling.
• The survey area to be divided in to two sector viz., Lat 10°N-13°N and Lat 14°N -16°N vessel to cover each sector in alternative cruise.
• In each cruise sampling should begin from the farthest Lat. as far as possible.
• Resources specific trawl fishing to be conducted simultaneously with regular
• survey in peak season of abundance of each resource.
