Abstract: The total fish production during the year 2008 - 2009 was 9011.51 metric tonnes and during the year 2009 - 2010 was 6619.35 metric tonnes. On the monthwise basis, maximum landings were recorded in January (2221.86MT) for 2008-2009 and in October (1034.57MT) for 2009 – 2010 .Groupwise the cat fishes constituted the highest amount (2904.27 MT) and mullets the lowest amount (706.90MT) during 2008-2009. The miscellaneous species formed the highest catch (1868.74 MT) and the Clupeids constituted the lowest catch (79.40 MT) during 2009-2010. Among all the landing centres Penthakota has the highest catch with 3422 MT (41.83%) during 2008-2009 and 2086.01 MT (41.40 %) during 2009-2010 while Khirsahi had lowest catch with 16 MT (0.19%) during 2008 - 2009 and Ramchandi with 15.55 MT (0.30%) during 2009-2010.
