| Abstract | Catch per unit effort (CPUE) of ring seines operated from the traditional plank built canoes was studied at two major centres, Ambalapuzha and Chellanam in Kerala. Parameters selected for assessing the productivity were catch per man hour and catch per fisherman per month. Statistical analysis shows that changes in CPUE are gear specific and location specific. Comparison between CPUE of large meshed (18-22 mm) thanguvala 800x90 m and small meshed (8-12 mm) choodavala 400x60 m that the latter performed better than that at Chellanam. CPUE decreased by more than half since the introduction of this gear. the causes and consequences of this decrease in productivity are also discussed. |
