Abstract

The oil sardine contributes nearly 15% of the total annual marine fish landings of the country and formsthe most important pelagic fishery resource. A brief account of the fishery. biology and stock position of the oilsardine based on the data collected from several centres along the west coast of India during 1984-88 is given.The growth parameters were estimated by employing the ELEFAN-I method and the values obtained for L. andK were 221 mm and 0.75 respectively. The instantaneous total mortality rate (Z) was estimated as 2.23 andthe instantaneous natural mortality rate (M) as 1.30. The maximum sustainable yield (MSy) was estimated as150000 tonnes against a mean biomass of 107 000 tonnes.
