Abstract

Maharashtra is one of the major maritime states in India with a coastline of 720 km. There are five maritime districts viz. Thane, Greater Mumbai, Ralgad. Ratnaglri and Sindhudurg from where the fishing vessels operate (Fig. 1). The state jointly with Gujarat contributed about 8.5 lakh tonnes of marine fish in 1994 which formed 36 % of the total marine fish production of India. The major fish landings of the state comprise Bombay duck, croakers, ribbonflshes. cat fishes, carangids. mackerel, pomfrets. penaeid and non-penaeid prawns and cephalopods. There are about 8.000 country crafts and 7,000 mechanised boats operating along the Maharashtra coast. The major gear being operated are trawl nets, purse seines, gill nets, dol nets and hooks and line.
