Title Artificial reef for artisanal fisheries enhancement - an attempt off Trivandrum coast
 
Creator James, P S B R
Lazarus, S
 
Subject Artificial reef
 
Description Several demersal fishes arc found to congregate
in the vicinity of submerged objects such as reefs, logs,
ship-wrecks and rock out-crops where plants and
bcnthic animals flourish than in areas where the bottom
is flat and barren. These communities serve as food for
larger predators. Submerged objects may, at times,
provide shelter and even spawning locations for manya-
fish. Underwater observations made by divers while
retrieving portions of submerged vessels also report
that such habitats harbour considerable concentration
of fishes
