Abstract

Cephalopods comprising of squids, cutlefishes and octopuses form the most valuable fishery resource in the world second to the prawns. The production of cephalopods was less in the traditional fisheries but after the introduction of trawling in the inshore waters, cephalopod exploitation experiences new strides and the export market for cephalopods tremendously increased ever since (Silas et al., 1985). In India, the commercial exploitation of cephalopods started about 35 years ago. In Maharashtra, cephalopods are mainly exploited by shrimp trawlers and the landings stand second in all India production. With increased mechanisation and expansion of fishing grounds, trawl nets have become the principle gear used for exploiting them. More than 95% of the cephalopod production in the state is caught by the multi-day fleet (MDF).
