This study aims to document the long line resources and the variation in gear used for long line fishing off the Visakhapatnam coast. The study was conducted among a sample of 193 long line units and 19 commercial fishing voyages involved in long line fishing of Visakhapatnam and Kakinada fishing harbours. Field survey method was adopted for data collection. Based on species landed, the catch was grouped into five categories viz., yellow fin tuna (Thunnus albacares), skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis), sharks (Carcharhinus sp.), Marlin (Makaira indica) and sword fish (Xiphias gladius). Yellow fin tuna dominated the catch contributing to 46.5% of the total catch. Marlins dominated the catches among species other than tuna by sharing 43.7% of the total catch, followed by sharks (32.5 %). Skipjack tuna contributed about 14.3% and Sword fish about 9.52% of the total catch.The details about the species landed with their hooking rates and the gear used are described. Not Available |
