Biochemical composition of parastromateus niger (bloch) from within and outside pfz zones off ratnagiri district coast, Maharashtra State, India

Abstract: 

The PFZ advisory consist of Chlorophyll and Sea Surface Temperature is called Potential Fishing Zone on the contrary fishing is performed in the absence of PFZ advisory away from the PFZ is called as non-PFZ zone. With the help of PFZ advisory fishing activities are carried out in both within and outside PFZ realm by trawl & gill net upon hiring fishing boats from three fish landing centers off Ratnagiri coast. The pomfret fishes in the size range between 25-35cm were selected on board after completion of hauling. Especially these fishes are found in trawl catches and gill net too. An attempt has been made to estimate biochemical composition in comparison separate for male and female quantitatively during the study period 2008-2011 in the post spawning and early pre spawning seasons off pomfrets.
