dc.description.abstractThe little known whale shark has gained importance recently. There is a regular fishery of whale shark and a large number of them are hunted off Gujarat coast every year. Due to their harmless and docile nature, slow swimming movements in search for food on the water surface in the coastal areas they are vulnerable and susceptible to easy capture. Fishing for this species intensified with the emergence of a lucrative market for its fins, meat, skin and cartilage.
