| dc.description | The increase in Thailand's population and the insufficiency of trawl catch in the traditional fisheries in the Gulf of Thailand led to proposals to increase trawl fishing off the Thai and Malaysian Indian Ocean coasts. Thailand bought a vessel to undertake research on catch rates of good and of scrap fish, changes in abundance, distribution of fish at various depths, potential resources, and the relationship between catch and effort. Certain infrastructural lacunae have hitherto hampered the tra wl-fisheries development of Thailand's Indian Ocean coast: rail or road transport, boats, marketing, landing places, and ice or cold-storage facilities. The analysis of catch and the assessment of stock of demersal fish indicates that the level of sustained yield may already have been reached by 1968. If this is so, additional effort will not increase the yield and may actually decrease it and will certainly decrease the catch per effort and hence the profitability. Systematic surveys for catch and effort studies and research on the biology of commercially important demersal fish species should be intensified and carried out regularly to acquire the scientific basis for proper management of fish stocks in the future. | |
