Abstract

Large pelagic fishes are one of the preferred fishes in domestic and international trade. Information on their distribution, abundance and stock status are limited from the Maharashtra coast. Nine major groups are contributing to the fishery in Maharashtra and the major share is of seerfishes ( 38%). Gillnets contribute 48% of the landings of large pelagics. This group contributed 14% of the total pelagic fish landings during 2007-2019 period with August to December as the months of peak landing, contributing about 63% of the annual landings.
