Abstract
The paper deals with the exploratory trawl fishing conducted in Bombay-Saurashtra waters by the Bombay-based vessels of the now Exploratory Fisheries
Project, Government of India, during 1968-70. The detailed study is based on
the trawling data in respect of M. T. KALYANI IV and M. T. KALYANI V,
as tlKse vessels have done extensive fishing, covering larger number of areas
frwn Goa to Dwaraka, used the same type of gear and have identical specifications.
The areawise abundance and seasonal distribution of 10 categories of fishes
in 8 major areas, where a fishing effort of more than 100 h each was expended, are
examined. The monthly variation in abundance and depthwise distribution of 5
groups of quality fishes in two most intensively fished areas (18-72 and 19-71)
and in one area (22-68) rich in these fishes are studied. The results of these studies
are compared with, and discussed in the light of the earlier findings
