    Abstract

     Pomfrets contribute 36 501 tonnes to the annual marine fish landings in India. Pumpus argenteus and Formio niger are the prime species forming 65.0% and 34.0% respectively of the pomfret catch. Gujarat and Maharashtrashare 42.6% and 35 9%of P. argenteus and 33.3% and 22.8% of F.nigerexploited, respectively. Thegrowth parameters for P argentew off Maharashtra and Kamatakaand MSY off Maharashtra (9 55 1 tonnes) and Kamatah (374 tonnes) were estimated. The results indicated high fishing pressure to the extent of 40% off Kanratalra. Large-scale destruction of young ones by do1 nets at Bessein (Maharashtra) resulted in I recruitment overfishing as the catches came down to 565 tonnes (1991) from 5 612 tonnes (1984). The growthparameters for F niger for Kerala and KarnataLawere estimated.MSY estimates were 1 055 tonnes off Kerala and 1856 tonnes off Karnataka.The effon needs to be reduced by 60%off Kamataka.
