Abstract

During the present study the average annual catch of Penaeus monodon during 2011 - 2013 was 281.29±9.67 ton, which contributed 0.41 % to the total trawl net catches at Digha coast. The average catch rate was 43.41 kg/h. The percentage of P. monodon to total shrimp catch was 1.91% in trawl landings at Digha coast. Monthly mean landings were 28.13±0.97 t from the trawl nets. Peak landings were observed from June to November with a maximum of 56.46±1.97 t in September and lean landings were observed from December to March with a minimum of 6.12±0.21 t.
