Abstract: The Indian mackerel, which forms a
highly fluctuating seasonal fishery in the
country is one of our most important
migratory, shoaling pelagic fishes during
the 10-year period from 1965 to 1974, the
annual catch of this fish was estimated
to be 78,750 tonnes forming 9% of the
country's marine fish production. The
landings in the period, however, fluctuated
between 21,700 tonnes in 1968 and
2,04,575 tonnes in 1971, and the percentage
of the mackerel in the marine fish
catches varied between 2 in 1968 and 18
in 1931.
