Abstract

Have you noticed that though our country has a massive coastline of 7,516.6 km, there is not enough news that emerges from its shores concerning the thousands of fisherfolk and their livelihood. But here’s one news from Kerala that spells a ray of hope at a time when the State has declared drought in all its districts. The news desk of The Fish Site website reports that the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has identified a new species of mackerel in the waters off the 600-km Kerala coastline. Scientists have named the black-spotted fish variety the ‘Indian Chub Mackerel’. Reported to be “round and more fuller in shape than regular mackerel” and with soft flesh, it is expected to add to the marine wealth of the State and bring in a whole new business potential.
