Description Among the various fishing gears employed for
pelagic schooling fishes along the Kerala coast,
seines are the most efficient. Contribution of ring
seine to total marine fish landings of Kerala has
steadily increased since its introduction during the
early eighties. It was 21.4 % in the nineties rising to
36.7 % during the period 2000-2004 and contributing
more than 50 % since then. In recent years, about
90 % of the oil sardine and about 60 % of the
mackerel landed in Kerala were caught in ring
seines. Ring seines were introduced during the early
eighties by traditional fishers of Alappuzha District
which became highly successful.
