Abstrakt: By-catch is distinguished as unavoidable in any kind of fishing but the quantity varies according to the gear and vessel operated. The changing outlook of by-catch itself offers the greatest challenge, as yesterday’s by-catch becomes today’s target catch. This trend showed that significant increased of low value fish species with decrease in commercial fish species in by-catch. More than 50% by-catch was used for fishmeal/fish oil industry. Fishes like anchovies, ribbonfish, cluepeids, driftfish, croakers, gobids were used for local consumption as dried fish (10%) salted (5%) and medium-size fish and soles were used for local consumption as fresh (12-15%). The Oil sardine were used maximum (98.2 %) followed by Mackerel (1.2%) for manufacturing fish oil, whereas 91.2% Oil sardine were used by fish meal industry. Studies have indicated that the Mangalore coast is one of the major fishing harbours having rich biodiversity [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
