Abstract Kerala is a maritime state which supports a well established marine
fishing industry. A vibrant traditional fisheries sector survives in the state
despite the expansion of mechanisation. The traditional sector has also
imbibed certain aspects of mechanisation by going in for engine power
to propel their crafts, but the fishing operations and the social relations
among fishermen are still influenced by traditional systems. Traditional
knowledge and belief systems influence the fishing operations, sharing
work and income and many other aspects of life.
