    Abstract

    Since 2002, due to heavy demand for the deepsea shark liver oil from pharmaceutical companies and foreign nations, a targeted fishery for the deepsea gulper sharks (Centrophorus spp.), which is locally called mullan sravu (vernacular for shark having spines) or enna sravu (oil shark) was observed from the landings at Cochin Fisheries Harbour. During this period, deep-sea chondrichthyans other than gulper sharks like the bramble shark Echinorhinus brucus and chimaera Neoharriotta pinnata were also landed as by-catch in the deepsea shrimp trawl fishery which were was also utilized similarly for oil extraction
