Abstract

In the narrow coastal belt extending from Muthukadukuppam to Point
Calimere in Tamil Nadu-Pondicherry region, the flying fish form an important
seasonal fishery. The total landings fluctuate from year to year. The weighted index
of abundance of flyingfish fishery was calculated for the years 1966 to 1970 and
compared with the trends in the yields of the fishery during those years. The
weighted index of abundance was the highest during 1967 and lowest during 1970,
whereas, the landings were higher in 1968 and lower in 1970.
