“…Anthropogenic interventions have disastrous consequences for island biodiversity. Therefore, conservationists and policymakers must pay close attention (Bijukumar et al 2015). In 2020, 164,000 tonnes of fishes were landed in Lakshadweep, a 28 percent decrease from the previous year (of 22,929 tonnes) following the same trend of decline as in the preceding year 2018-2019(CMFRI 20192020).…”

The Lakshadweep Islands are well-known for their abundant fishery resources. Present study primarily focused on the systematic representation of IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Red Listed marine finfish landings of Chetlat Island of Lakshadweep archipelago (India). Monthly collections were carried out from September 2019 to February 2020 from the study area. A list of finfishes along with their scientific name, common name, family, and present conservation status was prepared. As per the IUCN Red List, out of 41 fish species identified, one species is ‘Endangered’ (EN), two species are ‘Near Threatened’ (NT), four species are ‘Vulnerable’ (VU), one species ‘Data Deficient’ (DD), 29 species ‘Least Concern’ (LC), and four species are ‘Not Evaluated’ (NE) categories. Information on the conservation status of fishes plays a significant role in fisheries science since it forms the basis for managing marine fishery resources.
