Abstract

The annual catch of skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis at Minicoy fluctuated between \n721.21 and 1036.5 t during 1993-'98 with an average catch of 827.61 which \nconstituted about 89 % of the total tunas landed by pole and line (live bait) fishery \nand troll line fishery. The growth parameters estimated for skipjack tuna were \nLoo= 92.6 cm and K= 0.98 (annual). Following VBGF this species is found to attain \na length of 57.8,79.6, 87.7 and 90.8 cm during the I,II,III and IV years respectively.
