Description Vizhinjam, situated at long. 76°59'15"e, lat. 8°22'30", and 16 km south of trivandrum, is an important
Fish landing centre among the twenty-seven fish landing villages in the fishery zone extending from
Kollangode in the south to valiaveli in the north, spanning a distance of about 50 km on the south-west
Coast of india. Owing to its location which affords facilities for putting the boats out to the sea even in
The monsoon season, as well as due to good marketing outlets at nearby places such as balaramapuram,
Trivandrum and adjacent towns, fishing activity takes place in the vizhinjam area all through the year. With the completion of the vizhinjam fishing harbour which is underway, the fisheries importance of this area is bound to increase further. Vizhinjam is thus at the threshold of modernization and expansion of its fishing activities, particularly with reference to exploitation of the deepsea fishery resources. An account of the present status of the traditional fishery of the vizhinjam area
Is therefore timely.
