ABSTRACT

Forecasting is used to analyze the past and current behaviour to forecasts the future fish landing which intern provide aid to decision-making and in planning for the future effectively and efficiently. Autoregressive integrated moving average model is the most widely used model for forecasting time series. Variability of environmental and climatic variables is an uncontrollable source in predicting the fish catch landing. The extent of influence of these variables in prediction depends on the magnitude of these variables and on the distribution pattern of over the season around the year. Climate change continues to affect marine ecosystems. Marine ecosystems are not in a steady state but are affected by the environment, which varies on many spatial and temporal scales. Fish catch landing estimation was measured in a metric ton. The trend of total catch potential, for the longer term, the average increase is 84 % for Gujarat coast, but for the Maharashtra coast, overall average increase is 15.92 %.
