| Abstract |
The modern factory vessel with sophisticated accessories and the traditional craft represent two faces of development of fishing craft. The developments that have taken place in the past century in the industrial and traditional sectors the world over are discussed. In the mechanised sector the development brought about in materials for construction, hull form, marine species, propulsion system and optimisation of energy are the major ones. Sophisticated navigational aids and computer-aided designing have come to stay. |
