    Abstract

    Marine fish production in India increased steadily from a meagre 0.5 million t in 1950 to 2.69 million t in 1997. During 1990's the annual average marine fish production in India was 2.33 million t and out of this Andhra Pradesh contributed 145,848 which formed 6.27%. Andhra Pradesh ranked 6th next to Kerala, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Among the important fishery resources along the Andhra Pradesh coast, penaeid and non-penaeid shrimps constitute 9.2% and 2.7% in the total production. Among the nine coastal districts, East Godavari tops in marine fish production contributing 36.0%. Muthu et al., (1975) and Narasimham et al,(1979) have studied the trawl fishery of the Kakinada coast in detail. Rao (1975, 1979, 1980, 1985,1987, 1988 a,b,c, 1989, 1990,1993 and 1994) and Lalitha Devi (1986, 1987 and 1988) have studied the shrimp fishery in general and the biology and stock assessment of the component species of the shrimp resource in detail along the Kakinada coast. No report has been made on the recent developments on the shrimp fishery along the Kakinada coast and the present paper attempts to bring out the present status of the shrimp fishery resource along the East Coast in general and the Kakinada coast in particular.
