Abstract/Description: | THE MALABAR COAST. For the purpose of this paper I shall consider the Malabar Coast to extend from Cape Comarin in the south to Kundapur in the north, . that is, from the southcrnlllost point in Travancorc to the' boundary of . j.: .South Kanara with the Bombay Presiclcncy, a distance of rather more than four hundred miles. ~i.' : . ." , . , Three sections with distinctive types of fishing crart ad.d , fishing ~:- ':. methods arc to be distinguished on lhis extensive' stretch of coastline- a southern. a m~dian and a northern. The southern .section may conveniently be called the Catamaran Coast, for here the people are Tamil-speaking and kindred to those fishing communities who inhabit the western coast of the Gulf of Mannar. .They use boat catamarans of nearly the Silme type and .. their fishing methods are closely related. The median section, the Malabar coast in the restricted sense, being the coastal region dominated by Malayalam-speaking people, extends from a point some distance south of Guilon in Travancore to one north of Cannanore. The fisherfolk characteristically use dugout canoes and employ totally different methods of fishing from those practised by the Tamil-speaking people of the Coromandel Coast. The third and most northerly section is cClincident with the entire coast-line of the South lanara district, inhabited by a populalio~ speaking Kanarese and Tulu. Dugout canoes continue in evidence Cor inshore and bnckwater fishing; for offshore fishing these are re ... placed by plank-built boats of larger carrying capacity but many are, however, seasonal visitor!\ from the Konkan Coast. Outrigger canoes are also in evidence but are of comparatively recent introduction from Ratnagiri and Raipur .in the Bombay Presidency. The native fishermen are generally less enterprising than their Malayali brethren; |
