Abstract
The changing pattern of species composition of ring seine landings is modelled
with the help of the Markov chain model to interpret the observed changes and
predict the status of dominance of major species. The species selected for the study
were oil sardine, other sardines, anchovies, carangids and mackerel. The landings
from gear other than ring seines and all gear together have also been analysed. The
probability of oil sardine dominating the ring seine catch has come down and in
the case of other gear, carangids tend to dominate.
