Abstract

RELATIVELY little is known of the offshore fisheries potential of the Bay of
Bengal. Previous records deal chiefly with either the deep-sea deposits
and biology of the fauna in depths exceeding 200 metres (Alcock, 1889,
1890 a, b, c, 1891 a, b, c, 1892 a, b, 1893, 1894, 1895, 1896, 1898, 1899 a, b,
1902; Annandale, 1908; Borodin, 1930, 1932; Bolin, 1946; Lloyd, 1909;
MacArdle, 1901; Sewell, 1912) or the intertidal and shoreUne fauna (Alcock,
1890 a-c, 1892 fl-e; Arora and Banerji, 1957; Blyth, 1861; Carpenter, 1885;
Chacko, 1949; Day, 1878; Gravely, 1941, 1942; Jenkins, 1912; Koumans,
1941; Norman, 1927; Russell, 1803; Satyamurti, 1952, 1956). The Bengal
Government Steam Trawler 'Golden Crown' made a few hauls oifthe
Orissa Coast in intermediate depths in 1909-1910 (Anon., 1911; Jenkins,
1911; Annandale, 1909, 1910 «, *). In 1950, the West Bengal Government
initiated a regular fishing program with two Danish trawlers, and in 1956
three Japanese trawlers were added to the fleet. Their operations were
limited from 10 to 50 metres off" the Orissa coast between False Point Lighthouse
and the mouth of Chilka Lake.
