    Abstract

    Fixed bag net locally called 'dol' is one of the traditional gears used by the fishermen of Maharashtra. The article is a report of huge landing (7,665 kg) of cat fishes on 20th January, 1987 from two 'dol' netters at Sassoon Docks. The cat fishes comprised only one species namely Tachysurus dussumieri. This fish is mainly caught by hooks and line and trawlers. Sudden catch of this species by 'dol' net has generated good deal of interest among the fishermen as well as scientists.
