Description Fishing using gillnets and hooks and line have
been in vogue along Mangalore coast since a
long time. These fishing practices are very
popular and found to be lucrative along
coastal Karnataka. Fishing using gillnets and
hooks and line has so far been operated only
Mar. Fish. Infor. Serv., T&E Ser., No. 188, 2006 6
from canoes fitted with outboard engines
(OBM). The fishermen fish for a day or night
or at the most for 2-3 days. However, of late,
mechanized crafts (inboard mechanized)
operating gillnets as well as hooks and line
land their catch at Mangalore Fisheries
Harbour. The crafts used are large and
comparable to the size of trawlers and
purseseiners of Mangalore and have an
endurance to stay out at sea for more than a
month. As this kind of fishing activity is new
to this area, the catch as well as gear details
were studied and a brief account is given.
