Abstract
This communication deals with the results obtained with the multi mesh gill nets in
Kakinada bay operated from a traditional Nava. Multi-meshed gill nets with three different
mesh sizes namely, 30 mm, 40 mm and 50 mm with depth-wise arrangement were operated
along with traditional gill nets of same mesh sizes to evaluate the relative catch efficiency
of the different mesh sizes. These investigations revealed the effectiveness of 30mm meshsize
over the rest and the predominance of Clupeids in the catches.
