Abstract/Description: | Traditional fishing gears are rapidly disappearing due to poor catch, declining water bodies and proliferation of modern fishing gears. Traps are passive gears in which the fish enters voluntarily mostly for feeding or sheltering and will be hampered from escaping. Traps are highly selective as targeted fish can be caught and retained in live condition thereby fetching better price. A study was conducted on the traditional fish trapping devices in Goan water bodies in the north and south districts, in the context of very little documentation on this subject. Main objectives of the study were to analyse and document the design, fabrication, operation and catch composition of traps. Of the many traps surveyed, ten typical designs were identified for design documentation, viz., rectangular, conical and cylindrical traps either baited or un-baited, and with or without funnels at the mouth. Locally traps were known as koble, dhopke, khul/khuun, shenul etc. and were used for capturing crabs, shrimps and fish from estuaries and rivers. Traps are generally operated during the pre and post-monsoon seasons in shallow flowing waters. Most of the fishermen use traps seasonally as a secondary livelihood option. There is scope for modernising the traditional fish traps with most efficient designs and durable gear materials for improving the efficiency. |
