Abstract This study was undertaken with a view to finding out the comparative fishing ability and economic performance of different
fishing vessel sizes 9.15 m (30'), 9.76 m (32') and 10 .97 m (36') designed by the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology and operating along the Kerala coast . Data were collected from selected vessels of these sizes for four consecutive fishing seasons from 1964-65 to 1967-68 . The catch f unit effort and total effort per year
for the 10 .97 m (36') vessels were much better than those for the 9.76m (32') vessels . The yearly landings and the crew remuneration for the former were about twice those of the 9 .76 m (32') vessels.
The economic efficiency of the 10 .97 m (36') vessels was also much better . The decline in landings per year in both size groups was more due to the reduction in the effort per year than the decline in catch I unit effort .
