Abstract	Results of studies conducted on two categories of mechanized vessels viz., mini-trawlers and sona boats operated at Visakhapatnam base, Andhra Pradesh, India are presented. A general description of the technical parameters and an economic analysis including revenue, investments, operational expenditure, operational profits or loss etc. are described. The expenditure on fuel has been observed to be the largest component of the total operational expenditure to the tune of 66% in mini-trawlers and 62% in sona boats. To harvest one kg of shrimp, mini-trawlers consumed 7.89 litres of fuel and incurred an operational expenditure (including fuel) of Rs.213.61, and sona boats consumed 8.97 litres of fuel with an operational expenditure of Rs.260.35. Both the types of crafts are observed to be economically viable with profit percentages of 24.5% and 17.2% respectively during the period under report.
