Subject Crustacean Fisheries
 
Description Estimated annual fish landings by the commercial trawlers at Veraval
fluctuated between 22,221 t (in 1980-81) and 31,380 t (in 1981-82) during the
three years from 1979 to 1982. The catches of individual groups varied at random
without showing any seasonal trend. The prawns, for which the trawlers were
mainly operating, were only 7.8% of the total catch. The other important constituents,
which were landed more as bycatches, were small sciaenids (20%),
ribbonfish (9%), threadfin breams (5.3%), white fish (5.1%), perches (4.7%),
clupeids (4.2%), elasmobranchs (3.9%), eels (3.1%), flat fishes (3.1%) and
cephalopods (4.4%). Parapenaeopsis stylifera was the dominant species of prawn,
forming 20-31% of the prawn landings.
