Although annual catch in fishery in the Seto Inland Sea had been increasing ordinarily with eutriphication until 1985 after World War II, since 1986 it decreased from a high level of about 400,000 tonnes to a level of 300,000 tonnes. In this paper analysis of fluctuations in annual catch was carried out on fishery in the Inland Sea, From the fluctuations in catch by fish species it was made clear that a high level catch during 1975-'85 depended on catch in a large amount of sardine which migrated into the Inland sea, and that the reduction in catch after 1986 was caused by decrease in catch of sardine, anchovy, sanded and shell fishes which had been caught in aboundance before that. Moreover, any annual CPUE by type of fisheries, such as small trawl net, purse seine and boat seiners, changed decreasingly, so it seemed that each resources by fish species also declined. Judging from decreasing in proper type species, such as flat fishes, shrimps, sea cucumbers and shell fishes, in recent times, it is regarded that the bottom environment is becoming worse.
