Besides the above fisheries harbours there are 28 fish landing centres in Karnataka of which 12 centres namely Majali, Karwar, Binaga, Arga, Chendia, Kodar, Harwada, Keni, Gangavali, Tadri, Kumta and Honnavar are important. Comparison between potential yield from the ground fished and annual yields The Karnataka State has 300 km long coast line and 27,000 square km of continental shelf area rich in pelagic fishes. Traditionally the Karnataka coast is known as "Mackerel Coast. The fisheries resource potentials in the Exclusive Economic Zone and in 0-50 fathom depth zone off Karnataka are estimated to be 4.25 and 2.69 lakh t respectively. At present the fishing activity is mainly concentrated in the inshore waters upto a depth of 50 m. The marine fish landing has enhanced from 80.000 t in 1956-'57 to 2.18.000 tin 1995-'96. With a couple of mechanised boats at the time of reorganisation of the state during 1956, the Karnataka state now enjoys a fleet of 4,844 mechanised boats. Uttara Kannada District alone has 902 units. TABLE 5. Yearwise marine fish production and its value in rupees/lakhs in Karnataka TABLE 6.

Fishing by the mechanised boats (during 1st June to 31st August every year) has been banned to enable fish to breed and avoid casualty to men during rough weather. To have control over mechanised fishing boats and help traditional fishing, a zone of 10 kms from the coast is reserved for traditional fishing boats. Appointing authorised officers, arbitrators and appellate au.:hority and registrations and licensing of fishing boats has been taken up under the act. In order to bring the maintenance of all the fishing harbours under one umbrella the Karnataka Fishing Harbour Terminal Authority Act, 1986 has been enacted by the Government of Kar-
nataka. Collection of levies, wharfage and other charges will be done through the proposed fishing harbour terminal authority. It will be responsible for the maintenance of fishing harbours which includes cleanliness, providing drinking water, electricity and other basic amenities in the fisheries harbours. Goa State The state of Goa has a coast line of about 104 km. The highly productive fishable area in the sea extends upto 10-15 m and covers approximately a total area of 5,000 sq.km. Mackerels and sardines are economically most important fishes as they form 55 % of the total fish landings. One of the major advances in this fishery has been the introduction of mechanised purse seiners, trawlers and the motorisation of traditional crafts engaged for gill netting and driftnet fishing. The number of mechanised boats registered with the Directorate of Fisheries under M.F.R. Act is 900 units. There are 5 fish landing jetties and 16 ramps along the coast of Goa state whose details are given in Table 9 & 10 and the production details are given in Table 11. TABLE 9.
