Abstract
In spite of added inputs, the increase in marina fish production in India hat been only marginal during the last several years. In some segm3nts of the coast, exploitation of target species have apparently reached the level of IVISY. But in the case of some other species, wide gaps exist between the estimates of stock size and the actual level of exploitation A general awareness has rightly been created that shrimp-oriented growth of industry Is rather limited and further addition to production can largely be realised only by exploiting the stocks of outer shelf and continental slope. In this paper, an attempt has been made to assess the exploitable stocks off southwest coast between 8° North and 15° North latitudes, covering Kerala and Karnataka coasts Several estimates of stock sizes projected by different authors were mostly bated on indirect methods or fragmentary data- Recent data available has bean analysed in the light of Increase in fishing pressure and the estimates of the resources have been revised.
