Several people in the state assisted the mission during the study; Mr. S. Banerjee, Director of Fisheries, and other fishery officers in Hyderabad and at district levels in Krishna, West Godavari, East Godavari, Srikakulam and Nellore provided information and made necessary arrangements for field visits and interviews; logistic support from district collectors and sub-collectors greatly facilitated the work of the mission.
