Globally, marine fishery resources are under enor-mous pressure with the estimated fishing effortexceeding the optimum by a factor of three to four(Pauly et al., 2002). The economic losses due toexcess fishing effort have been estimated to be 50billion USD annually (World Bank, 2009). FAOestimated 52% of global fish stocks as fullyexploited, 28% overexploited or depleted, 20%moderately exploited, and only 1% showing signsof recovery as a result of the consequences offishing, since 1970 (FAO, 2009). Maharashtra witha coastline of 720 km is one of the leading states inIndia in marine fish production. Major fish landingcentres are New Ferry Wharf, Sassoon Dock andVersova, situated in Greater Mumbai (GRM) andthey account for nearly 60% of the state fish landings(Annam & Agustine, 2005; Mane & Sundaram,2011). Trawlers and purse seiners land largequantity of bycatch (60-65%) comprising juveniles,undersized fishes and inedible biota which isdiscarded at sea and mostly goes unreported. Themarine fishery in Maharashtra has been facing crisissince late nineties owing to overfishing, urbaniza-tion, domestic and industrial pollution and habitatdegradation (Deshmukh, 2013).
