Description Quiet changes have taken place during recent years in the fishery by traditional crafts and gear
at Tuticorin. This study refers to the changes taken place in the commercial fisheries of Tuticorin due
to the introduction of machanisation of traditional fishing crafts. Started in 1985 over 90 Tuticorin
type boats have been fitted with inboard engines of 10 HP mainly of the Kangaroo make. These boats
operate drift nets and hook ft lines for demersal as wall as pelagic species of fish. Data collected two
years priot and two years after the introduction of mechanisation of indigenous crafts have been
compared. Operational parametres and benefit* of mechanisation are discussed. The fishermen are
benefited by increased catch par unit as well as increased price for the catch by arriving earlier.
