Abstract	The introduction of the ring seine in the mid eighties in the artisanal marine fisheries sector of Kerala helped the traditional fishermen to counter the marginalisation felt due to the emergence of the large mechanized sector to a certain extent. This communication is based on the theoretical consideration to reduce the weight of this huge gear by introducing large mesh section in the wing region. The reduction brought about in the total weight of webbing by substituting with large mesh knotless webbing and the cost of fabrication of the ring seine was estimated. Two hypothetical cases were taken for calculation. In the first case when three panels from both wings were substituted effecting a 4% reduction in weight. and 2.6% reduction in cost and in the second case where the last eight panels were substituted with large mesh effecting 14% reduction in weight and 7.3% reduction in cost. The reduced weight will consequently reduce the size of the craft and the horse power of the engine and thereby the operational costs.
