Abstract
Goatfishes are one of the commercially important marine fishery resources of the world. Most goatfishes live in shallow water and are usually found on open, sandy or muddy bottoms (Fischer and Bianchi, 1984) inhabiting brackish or marine habitats. There are about 46 species of goatfishes of the family Mullidae under 6 genera, which are distributed in Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans (Froese and Pauly, 1996). In India, goatfishes are exploited traditionally since a very long time employing traps and shore-seines as principal gears (Thomas, 1969). The introduction of trawling by mechanised boats in early 1950s and the consequent development in marine fisheries sector have resulted in phenomenal growth of the fishery for goatfishes in India.
