Description Edavalai (bag net) is operated for pelagic fish
shoals along the Coromandel coast. During
the post-tsunami months (February- March)
the edavalai was predominantly operated
along the Chennai coast, which supported the
livelihood of fisherman. The edavalai (mesh
size: 15mm) used for catching anchovies and
sardines is locally called 'arunthavalai' and the
one (mesh size:25 mm) used for catching
mackerels and mullets is called 'penthavalai'.
