Heavy landing of tuna by multiday deep searingseiners at Cuddalore.
2019
In Tamil Nadu, Cuddalore fishing harbour is known for
ringseine operation and in February 2018, the fishermen
introduced multiday deep sea ringseine for oceanic tunas
and the result was encouraging ( Sivadas et al., 2018. Mar.
Fish. Infor. Ser. T & E Ser. No.235). Now the fishermen
from neighbouring areas like Pazhayar, Kalpakkam etc
also started practising this fishing. In 2019 since July,
there were good landings by this gear. A brief account
of the landings during July and August is given below to
highlight their role in exploitation of both inshore and
oceanic tunas. In a boat the catch varied from 5 t to 30
t. Initially the catch was comprised by yellowfin tuna and
skipjack tuna.
