Description KeraIa occupies the foremost position in marine fish
production in India, accounting for almost a quarter of the
total landings of 1.6 million tonnes. Marine fishing using
artisanal tackle is an age old tradition of the State.
Mechanization was experimented in late fifties under the
Indo-Norwegien project in Quilon area. The early sixties
witnessed an important technological development, in gear,
the shift from cotton to nylon nets. By mid sixties
individual entrepreneurs entered the scene, paving way for a
fast development of trawl fishery in the coastal waters.
Commercial purse-seining started during the late seventies
and the process of large scale motorization of country craft
began in early eighties even though, experimental projects on
motorization were tried much earlier (Jacob et al; 1987).
