Description The introduction of ring seine in Tamil Nadu was
to target shoaling fishes like oil sardine. The volume
of oil sardine landings in Tamil Nadu showed
tremendous improvement after the use of this gear.
Though Tamil Nadu government banned the operation
of this gear in 2000, it is still active in certain parts
of Tamil Nadu like Cuddalore which is the most
important ring seine fishery centre. In Cuddalore,
the mechanized ring seine fishery started in 2009.
The units were bought from Kerala and hence the
size of the boat and engine power, size of net and
operation of the gear were similar to those used in
Kerala. The normal operation of ring seine is within
30 to 50 m area and very close to the shore, The
catch is brought to the landing centre in carrier boats
on the same day. The oil sardine fishery in 2017 was
a failure because of which the operation of ring seines
was almost suspended.
