Description Dol netting is one of the major fishing methods used
mainly by traditional fishermen of Maharashtra. Study of catch
composition of dol nets operated in Karanja Estuary of Raigad
district, Maharashtra was carried out during September 2016 -
May 2017. A total of ten single-day dol-netters were selected for
the purpose of this study. Fortnightly on-board sampling and

13 species of shrimps, 10 species of crabs, 5 species of
cephalopods, 2 species of jellyfish, 4 species of sea snakes, 1
