- 87°15'E revealed a production range of 3 - 15000 kg/haul with a mean of 581
kg/haul; the average catch in the region was 567.3 kg/hr. The dominant finfish in the
surveyed area were Indian drift fish (36.4%), carangids (22.5%), catfishes (7.1%),
bull's eye (6.9%), goat fishes (3.9%), nemipterids (3.3%) etc. The bathymetric zones
above 200 m and 51-100 m were found to be highly productive with average catch
rate of 1615 and 830 kg/hr respectively. In the surveyed region the highest production
rate was at lat. 19°N (1384 kg/hr).
