Abstract

With the introduction of the mechanised trawlers, the shrimp fishery of Maharashtra coast \nespecially of Bombay region has shown considerable variations both in species composition and in the \nmagnitude of the landings. A study was therefore made for a five year period from 1982-1986 to \nunderstand the trend of prawn fishery Two important centres namely Versova and Sassoon dock were \nselected to cover the mechanised 'Del' fishery and trawl fishery respectively The results are presented \nalong with the problems of management when mechanisation Is on the increase enabling the fishermen \nto explore despair areas hitherto not fished at all.
