Description The average catch rate of finfishes obtained by FORV Sagar Sampada from the
survey area in the Andaman Sea was 259 kg/hr and the yield ranged from 8.6 to 1260
kg/hr. Silver bellies was the most abundant component (37.5%) with a catch rate of
96.9 kg/hr. Carangids, elasmobranchs and perches accounted for 20.3%, 11.9% and
8.0% of the total catch and the corresponding catch rates were 52.5, 31.1 and 20.8
kg/hr respectively. The highest catch rate of 1260 kg/hr was recorded from 13°10'N
- 92°37'E at a depth of 65m. The catch rate indicated that the depth zone 51-100 m
is productive and yielded 84.7% of the total catch at a catch rate of 501.4 kg/hr.
Although the pelagic trawl was operated at 38 stations, the catch realised was
neghgible (0.83 kg/hr).
