Abstract

Fishery potential of the interior Gulf of Kachchh and adjacent creek regions was reported
for the first time as baseline data for future ecological assessment. The experimental trawling
and gill netting indicated that the inner Gulf (ay.7.8 kg/h) was three times more productive than
the creek (ay.2.3 kg/h). The number of species found in the Gulf and creek were respectively
34 and 20 suggesting good biodiversity of the living resources of the area.
