Abstract

The indices in variability of catch and the relative abundance of Macrohrtichhim
hirmanicam choprai show three distinct seasons in landing pattern,
with relatively unimportant cyclical movements. Gradual decline of fisheries from
year to year, increase in bulk from upper to lower centres and direct co-relation
with rainfall have been observed.
