Abstract
Unicorn leatherjackets (Aluterus monoceros) (Family Monacanthidae) are locally known as “Seruppumeen” in Tamil due to their highly compressed body, rough, thick sandpaper like skin and human footwear like appearance. In Kasimedu landing centre (Chennai) the unicorn leatherjackets were usually landed in negligible quantity along with other fishes. They had least importance in the fishery, considered unpalatable and thrown away as trash fish.
