Subject Tuna fisheries
 
Description In recent years attention has been focused
towards the development of Fisheries in the
Lakshadweep by the Government to improve the
life style and economy of the islanders. Introduction
of mechanisation in the early sixties has
resulted in the increase of tuna production at
Minicoy, where a traditional fishery employing
'Masodis' was in existance. Coupled with this,
the spread of pole and line fishing practise
towards the northern islands such as Agatti,
Bangaram, Perumul Par, Suheli and Bitra has
resulted in the production of tuna from a few
hundred tonnes in the 60's to about 4807
tonnes in 1986.
