Description The present slate of our knowledge of resources in the Indian seas, i.e., the Arabian Sea and the Bay
of Bengal is very limited. Exploration of demersal fisheries has been done with some intensity upto a depth
of 40 fathoms only, but this does not even cover the entire coastal belt. The data available on deeper
firounds are sporadic and do not lead to conclusions. On pelagic fisheries our assessment as to the quantities
available is yet to be done and since the fishing fleet in the Indian Ocean is being increased considerably it
is desirable to take up speedier methods of assessing the fish abundance both for demersal and pelagic stocks.
Side by side it is also necessary to encourage sound fisheries management practices as the resources picture
becomes clearer. The paper suggests an approach to these problems under Indian conditions.
