Abstract

The pole-and-line tuna baitfishery at two major fishing islands of Lakshadweepduring the fishing seasons of 1988-89and 1989-90 are described. \nThe total bait caughtlseason at Minicoy was about 7 tonnes with a CPUE of 2.1 kg while at Agatti it was about 47 tonnes with a CPUE of 8.5 kg. \nA total of 11 species belonging to the families : Clupeidae. Caesionidae, Apogonidae and Pomacentridae contributed to the fishery at Minicoy \nand at Agatti only a single species Sprutelk~icles drlicutubs was used as live bait. The size distribution of baitfishes and the influence of \nenvironmentul parameten on the fishery was also studied. More information on the fishery in other areas of Lakshadweep, the exact quantity of \nbait used by a boat, biology of baitfishes to undentand their recruitment and culture potential are some of the management options discussed.
