Of the total mechanized boats in the state of Gujarat (2894) the trawlers formed 50%.Porbandar is a big landing centre where about 600 trawlers land their catch. At this centre 400- 500 families are associated with trawl fishery. All the economic efficiency measures show that trawl operation at Porbandar was profitable during 1987-'88. An owner of a trawler could earn a sum of Rs. 22,438 in a fishing season of about 9 months. Infrastructure facilities are moderate to good.
