Book Review: Bibliography of Gulf of Mannar

Abstract

The Gulf of Mannar Marine Biosphere Reserve (GOMMBR) is India's first national marine Park. The development of marine fisheries in the Gulf of Mannar ecosystem requires thorough knowledge on the relative abundance of various commercially exploitable finfish, shellfish and other organisms and their biology for designing appropriate management strategies for sustainable production besides conserving the marine biodiversity. In order to document the information base on these aspects from the Gulf of Mannar in Tamilnadu, an attempt is made to compile all the published informations in the form of a special publication.
