Description The mud banks, an unique feature of the Kerala coast during
the southwest monsoon where the surf ridden nearshore waters
over restricted areas become highly adjacent due to certain physicochemical
factors have been under investigation for more than a century.
These areas play an important role in the socio-economics of
the coastal fisher folk during the poverty stricken southwest monsoon
period. Considering the importance of mud banks from the fishing
point of view, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute.
Cochin has been monitoring the phenomenon and carried out a multidisciplinary
exclusive study during 1971-72, on the various physicochemical
aspects in respect of origin, maintenance, shifting, dissipation,
ecology and fisheries of the mud banks, especially that of
Alleppey area. The study brought to light a good amount of new
information on this curious phenomenon. The present article is a
review of the studies conducted by the CMFRl.
