Abstract
In the present communication the authors have reviewed the trends of bottom trawling for the last one and a half decades off Kakinada. Performance of various designs of two-seam and four-seam trawls was also assessed. On an average the catch rate was found to be 33.3 kg h-1. The five yearly landings were worked out for three periods, 1967-71 period to be the most productive. There is considerable reduction in the catch per unit effort during 1972-76 and 1977-81 periods. The catch rate was lowest during 1977-78. An attempt to correlate the catch with the increase in the number of fishing boats from year to year.
