Description The goatfish fishery at Visakhapatnam by small mechanised trawlers during
1994-'96 is presented. During the period the goat fishes formed 4.5 % of the
total fish catch landed by the small mechanised trawlers. The fishery
was sustained by Upeneus vittatus (65.1 %), U. sulphureus (26.5 %) and
U. moluccensis (8.3 %). Upeneus vittatus feeds mainly on prawn, crab and
Squilla spp. The females were observed in the maturity stages I - IV and the
matured females were recorded in February, March, May and August. The
length-weight relationship of U. vittatus is also described.
