Utilization of bycatch-Indian perspective
Authors

Abstract
Bycatch plays a significant role in the fishery sector, because the
non-targeted fishes are in demand as fishmeal. The oil sardines and mackerels
are used in the manufacture of fish oil and constitute a major proportion of
the fishmeal industry. The fishes of low value are utilized for the preparation
of value-added fish products. The incidentally caught fish in bycatch can be
used in ornamental fish trade thus increasing the income of fishermen. The
article suggests that the utilization of bycatch in a better way would benefit
the fishmeal sector and the economy of the country. The information on bycatch
and its utilisation in India directs the sustainable capture and management of
exploited fishery resources in India. This socioeconomic approach of
utilization of bycatch can be applied to the global fishery for sustainable
fisheries.
