Title Fish aggregation devices and artificial reefs
 
Creator Raja, G
 
Subject Artificial reef
 
Description The principle of fish aggregation is based on
the tendency of fish to concentrate around
floatsam and sunken structures for food, shade
and shelter (hide-out from predators). The
technology is quite popular in Japan, Philippines,
United States of America and the Pacific Island
countries, and has been in vogue for a long period.
For the first time in India this technology was
introduced through the pioneering efforts of Raja
(1986) who designed and fabricated an indigenous
Synthetic Fish Aggregating Device/Artificial Reef
(FAD/AR) made from High Density Polyethelene
(HDPE) - Patent Registration No. 650/MAS/87.
The results of preliminary experiments were
highly encouraging and were presented by Raja
(1986). Subsequently, all aspects of the FADs/ARs
were discussed in detail at the National Fishermen's
Forum meeting held at Bangalore, and was well
received and appreciated by the participants.
