Fishes belonging to the family Gempylidae have formed part of regular fish landings bytrawls and large meshed gillnet (Paruvalai) since deep sea fishing started off Tuticorin in Gulf of Mannar. Occurrence of six species of Gempylids are reported from the bathypelagic tropical seas.They are Lepidocybium flavobrunneum, Ruvettus pretiosus cocco, Gempylus serpens, Neoepinnula orientalis and Von Bonde Thysitoides marlei and Thysites atun. Of these L.flavobrunneum,R.pretiossus and N. orientalis formed a regular fishery and contributed moderately to the fish landings. About
