The data on catch, effort, age and length composition of oil sardine collected by this Institute during
1978-81 period pertaining to indigenous gears and purse seines and the data on socio-economic cispects
Gathered through a special survey in 1981 in the coastal villages of Kerala were considered. The purse seiners have started operations in Cochin area during the latter half of 1979 with about 10 units, which increased to about 40 and 60 in 1980 and 1981 respectively. The purse seiners operated are of about 13 m. In length with nets measuring 500-600 m in length and 50-60 m in depth with the meshes ranging from 13 to 20 mm in size.
