Abstract	The states of Andhra Pradesh and Tarnil Nadu are grouped as southeast coast of India. In the last four decades since 1961, the annual rate of growth in production in this region is gradually declining (Srinath, 2003). On the east coast of India, major stocks are intensively exploited and declining trend in shrimp production has been reported in this region. In order to manage the fishery in a given area, a thorough knowledge on the species composition is very essential. There is an urgent need to implement management measures to sustain the coastal demersal resources considering their large-scale exploitation. Finfish resources form the dominant component in the trawl bycatch where shrimps are targeted. In this paper, an attempt is made to study catch composition of trawlcaught finfish resources in the coastal waters off Visakhapatnam and deep seas, which may facilitate the appropriate re-distribution of ever-increasing fishing effort in all strata of the continental shelf and reduce the fishing pressure in the coastal waters.
