“…The brachyuran family Geryonidae, characterized by its five anterolateral carapace teeth [1,2], is globally distributed in the continental slopes of the world's oceans [3] at depths 200-1500 m. Geryonidae are a source of food and supports numerous world commercial fisheries [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The family comprises of four genera and twenty-four species [5].…”

Aim: This study focused on Chaceon somaliensis, a species in the Geryonid family, which is commonly found in the Horn of Africa. The species has global commercial value, yet little is known about it. The study adds to our understanding of the species by identifying its distribution, population structure, and fisheries potential in the Kenyan Coast. Methodology: Maxent modeling assessed the appropriate environmental variables and predicted potential species distribution and hotspot locations. Regression was used to explain C. somaliensis distribution and some aspects of the population structure. Study Design: Analytical study. Results: Stratification by depth was observed with large male crabs (carapace width>150 mm, weight=1100 g) found in shallower depths (depth<501 m), while females, smaller in size (carapace width =92 mm, weight=316 g), seemed to prefer higher depths of >500 m. The Males were dominant (0.94), and females and juveniles comprised only 0.06 of the population. The population was found to be skewed towards males of large size (carapace width > 140 mm, weight 1100 g). Bathymetry and environmental variables associated with feeding and nutrients, such as phytoplankton, iron, and silicate, were the best predictors of species presence. Potential sites and hotspot areas occurred on a ridge at gentle slopes (0.98°– 4.31), with the hotspot areas being spatially about 3,230 km2 of 61,694 km2. Conclusion: The fishery was considered productive and suitable for maintaining marine biodiversity (catch> 94% adults). The male population should be monitored as it is the key indicator of the status of the fishery.

“…India possesses rich and diversified fishery resources spanning from ocean waters to wetlands, marshes, and streams, accounting for even more than 10% of the overall world biodiversity in regards to freshwater and marine fish varieties (Rajeev and Bhandarkar 2022). India has a wide coastline (8118 km), 2.2 million square kilometres of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and 0.53 million square kilometres of continental shelf region, which are home to abundant marine fishing sources (Desai et al 1990;Ngasotter et al 2020). Streams and channels, riverbank ponds, pools and tanks, basins, salt water, highly salinity-impacted regions and so on are examples of freshwater resources.…”

Fisheries within India have significant financial, nutritional and socio-economic development prospects. The country has a diversified natural fishery resource. Fishermen have continuously undertaken fisheries activity throughout the country over decades and fisheries co-operatives have now been developed for cumulative production and effective regulation of fishery activities. It was observed that there have been many inconsistencies, mostly in the management of fisheries co-operatives; a few were effectively handled under active supervision and government backing, whereas many co-operatives are facing various problems for their existence. Effective administration of fisherman's co-operatives is critical for increasing fishing productivity and the socio-economic growth of fishermen. Co-operatives can help fishermen develop their skills and gather information about technology, marketing, and management. Co-operatives can improve productivity, processing, storing and transportation capabilities while also meeting financial demands. As a result, co-operative organisations may contend with multinational corporations by integrating competent management abilities with co-operative power. To do this, a nationwide research project focusing on different elements of fisheries co-operatives is recommended. The need for appropriate policy implications for such sustainable management of fisheries co-operatives in accordance with current technical advancements in the sector of aquaculture, environmental degradation and global warming has been highlighted.
