Description During the last three decades we have witnessed progress
in the marine fisheries sector, particularly in the introduction of
mechanised fishing crafts, use of synthetic material for gear and
development of infrastructure facilities. The traditional fisheries
sector, still using indigenous crafts such as catamarans and
canoes, has taken advantage of nyion in fabricating their fishing
gear. On an average, our annual marine fish production is about
1.3 million tonnes, of which nearlyOO per cent is accounted for by
traditional fishing methods from a narrow belt along our coast.
In spite of this importance, hardly any serious study has been
carried out on the economics of operation of the artisanal fisheries
in the country. The present report by Shri A. Noble and Shri
V. A. Narayanankutty of this Institute on the economics of the
indigenous fishing units at Cochin is a case study on some aspects
of the small-scale fisheries of the Cochin area. The study is based
on several years data collected by the Institute and is but a small
step towards understanding the problems of traditional fisheries.
The Institute has programmed to take up similar studies in other
regions along our coast. The issue of this Number on the
occasion of the Seminar on "The Role of Small-scale Fisheries
and Coastal Aquaculture in Integrated Rural Development" is
considered timely as it focuses attention on an area needing
intensive studies and critical evaluation of available information
to assist in coastal rural development.
