Abstract

After witnessing a record low catch of 45,000 tonnes in 2016, landings of oil sardines — the most popular fish variety — seem to be showing signs of recovery with the landings in 2017 at 1.27 lakh tonnes. A Gopalakrishnan, Director, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), said that the measures to implement minimum legal size (MLS) of 58 marine fish species have had some positive impact on marine fish landings in Kerala. The CMFRI had recommended the State government to implement the MLS after it discovered that juvenile fishing was one of the major reasons for dwindling marine fish landings in the State.
