Abstract
The juveniles in the size range 9-24 cm are in
sizeable quantities during October - May at
Mangalore and Malpe landing centres of Dakshina
Kannada coast. The present study is undertaken
to highlight the magnitude of the exploitation of
the juveniles of the Spinycheek grouper.
Epinephelus diacanthus by trawlers along the
Dakshina Kannada coast and its impact on the
stock with a brief description on its biology. This
species is known to grow to a large size and
supports a fishery of some magnitude in other
parts of the Indian coast. The results presented here are based on the data collected on the landing of the species at Mangalore and Malpe during 1988/'89 - 1993-'94
