Box 7803 5020 Bergen, Norway Abstract—We investigated variation in growth and maturation in response to 1) spatial variation in climate and 2) exploitation of the subtropical cutlassfish Trichiurus japonicus, an important fishery...

Trichiurus lepturus (ribbon fish) was collected from different spatial locations (south west (SW) coast edging the Arabian Sea and south east (SE) coast surrounding the Bay of Bengal of India) and seasons (pre-monsoon, monsoon and post-monsoon) during a continuous period of four years (2008 through 2011), and their edible muscles were studied for differential nutritional compositions of protein...

Marine coastal fishery often yields a considerable portion of the non-target species and by-catch as trash fish in total catch. Generally, it consists edible inedible species, which are unacceptable for human consumption usually discarded waste. However, has significant potential to use animal feed. The current study was intended determine proximate composition abundant selected landing sites J...
