    “Caring the crafts”: off season maintenance of fishing boats of Gujarat coast
    (Fishtech Reporter, 2020) Prajith, K.K; Parmar, Ejaz A.R.; Joseph, Toms C.
    There are number of factors which influence the operation and maintenance of the fishing systems. The coastal districts of Saurastra and Kutch region of Gujarat, are well-known for skill and craftsmanship for construction of highly efficient fishing and cargo vessels (Prajith et al 2017). The fishery of Gujarat is mainly contributed by the mechanised fishing vessels (6.96 lakh t) followed by motorized fishing vessels (0.84 lakh t) and non-motorized fishing vessels (397 t). The catches from the mechanized sector are mostly contributed by multiday trawlers (CMFRI, 2019). Veraval, Mangrol, Okha and Porbandar are the major fish landing centres of the state.
