Description Recent years have witnessed a silent diversification of traditional fishing methods all along the
east and west coasts of India. This is especially so around Tuticorin. Two recent innovations in
fishing gear added great impetus to the capture of nearshore fish and prawns.
One such gear is the * Thallu madi' a smaller modified version of the shrimp trawl. It is operated
round the year from a single non-mechanised Tuticorin type boat. Another gear is the improved
drift gill net the' Disco net *. It is normally operated from a powered Tuticorin type boat. By and
large these nets are dependable and good many traditional fishermen are benefited from them by way
of improved catch.
Opsrational parameters, species composition and catch-per-unit are given for' Thallu madi' from
1979 to 1986 and for' Disco net' from its introduction in the 1987 season
