Description With the advent of purse seine in 1975 in the dakshina kannada (karnataka) the indigeneous
Gears particularly rampani, pattabale and chalabale used for shoaling fishes have almost become
Non functional. However, the drift gill net {odubale), which is employed for fishing bigger fishes,
Of late have assumed greater importance because of its economic viability. In fact in recent years a
Trend is set for fixing out-board and inboard engines to the existing canoes for harvesting fishes by
Employing gill nets. Perhaps this would be the forerunner for the development to take place particularly
In the dakshina kannada and other areas. The drift net catches from dakshina kannada
Constituted about 3% of marine pelagic catches of karnataka during 1979.
