Abstract: The by-catch of Marine gastropods was collected from two different coastal area of Tuticorin district from Gulf of Mannar. In the present survey, 16 species of Conus(Gastropoda: Conoidea) were recorded in January 2018 to March 2018.A field survey was carried out to assess the availability of Conus species in by-catches of two fish landing centres via Tuticorinand Threshpuram in Gulf of Mannar coasts. At each centre, by-catch trash from crab net, trawl net, thallumadi and Karaivalai of fishing vessels wascollected every fortnight. Sixteentype of conusspecies were recorded from the by-catches.
