    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 2010) Bhagirathan, U.; Meenakumari, B.; Panda, S.K.; Madhu, V.R.; Vaghela, D.T.
    The commercial trawler fleet of India consists of 29,241 small and medium fishing boats (CMFRI, 2006). The northwest coast of India has the highest number of mechanized vessels operating in the Arabian Sea (Vivekanandan et al., 2005). The recommended optimum fleet size of mechanised trawlers for Gujarat is 1,473 (Kurup and Devaraj, 2000). However, presently 7402 commercial trawlers are operating in Gujarat waters (Anon, 2005). Veraval is an important fishing port of Gujarat from where 2793 trawlers are being operated.
