Description The 1980s was an important period in the
development of marine fisheries in Kerala. In
the first half of this period rapid motorisation
of the indigenous crafts with outboard engines
made the traditional sector more efficient.
Outboard engines became an integral part of
the indigenous fisheries and the fishers could
extend their activities to more distant and
deeper waters. Slowly they started discarding
their old dugouts and going for plank-built
boats with transformed stern to fix their outboard
engines conveniently. In the latter half
of the 1980 s a new gear called ringseine became
very popular in exploiting the pelagic
resources and replaced the boatseines to a very
great extent.
