Abstract

C ephalopods comprising of squids, cuttlefishes and octopus account for nearly 6% of marine fish landings in India. Squids with annual yields fluctuating between 77,241 and 1,00,014 t (2010-15) are mainly caught by trawlers along the eastern Arabian sea, bordering the west coast of India. The lndian squid, Uroteuthis (Photololigo) duvaucelii distributed in the shelf waters support the largest squid fishery in the country. Juvenile Indian squid predominantly under the minimum legal size (MLS) of 8 cm are landed in trawl seasonally. The length-cohort analysis was carried out in this study to assess the stock and mortality rates of U. (P.) duvaucelii population along west coast of India.
