Billfishes form a major constituent of Tu longline fishery around Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the effect of the lur cycle and monsoon on the catch rate of billfishes. The study is based on tu longline survey carried out by M.V. Blue Marlin, survey vessel attached to the Fishery Survey of India, Port Blair around A&N Islands. Catch rate s recorded at different latitudes showed that billfishes are more abundant in upper latitude of the region. The results of the present study indicated that there is a significant effect of the lur cycle on the catch rate of billfishes occurring in the Andaman and Nicobar waters. However, it has been observed that the monsoon effect has no significance on the catch rates. Downward trend of year wise catch rate noticed during the study period warrant strict magement measures. The effect of monsoon and the lur cycle on Billfishes caught by tu longline and the likely reason for that were elucidated in the text. -
