Fish landing
 
Description Rajapara is one of the most important dolnet
fishing centres in Saurashtra region and the landing
centre is a small semicircular bay without any major
concrete berthing facilities (Fig. 1). Though, a well
constructed jetty is not present in this centre, fishing
boats of 10 -14 m size operate and small canoes
are used to unload the catch. About 240 dolnet units
are under operation, of which 120 are four netters,
90 are three netters and the rest are two netters.
Duration of each operation lasts for 4 to 5 h. Depth
range of fishing ground is 24 to 40 m and it takes
4-5 h to reach the fishing area.
