groups of Lakshadweep comprises of Aminidivi, Koyas, Malmis

and Malcheris.

Fisheries of Lakshadweep

Lakshadweep Sea is rich in fishery resources such as tunas,

billfishes, pelagic sharks, other food fishes, live baits and

ornamental fishes.

The principal fishing method for catching tuna is pole and line

fishing. Lakshadweep Islands are the only place in India where pole

and line fishing is practiced for catching tuna.

Status of Fisheries in Lakshadweep

The Union Territory of Lakshadweep consists of a chain of 11inhabited and several uninhabited islands, scattered in the Arabian Sea between latitude 08° 00' and 12° 30'N and longitude 71° OO'E and 74° 00' E, at about 200--400 km away from the Kerala coast.

The mainstay of the community is coconuts and marine fish caught mostly through traditional fishing methods.

Fisheries resources:

The major fishery resources of the island include the oceanic resources such as tuna, billfishes, pelagic sharks, marlins, sailfish and other groups of food fishes such as flying fish, barracuda, seerfish, rainbow runner, garfishes, halfbeaks, snappers, perches, clupeids, carangids, breams, trigger fishes, rays, octopus, etc.

Fishing methods:One of the limiting factors in the development of the pole and line fishing is the availability of live baits. Live bait fishes are used for chumming and attracting the tuna shoals. Live baits are essential for operation of the pole and line fishery. These fishes caught from the reefs and lagoons and kept in live condition in special region of the boats for use at the time of capture. There are 21 species of live baits available in the Lakshadweep waters, of which over a dozen species are normally used for fishing.
