Description The socio-economic conditions of the marine fishermen and
their attitude towards development schemes will serve as back
ground information which is vital for implementing new technologies
and policies. With this view in focus, the Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute has been continuously monitoring the
socio-economic conditions of the traditional fishermen and conducted
several studies along the coastal belt to assess the existing
socio-economic status and to evaluate the socio-economic impact of
innovations on them. In this paper, the socio-economic parameters
such as family size, age structure, educational and occupational
pattern, customs, beliefs and the standard of living of the coastal
fishermen household have been analysed. In the socio-economic
impact evaluation studies, the changes that have been brought
about by the mechanisation of fishing industry in terms of income
and employment generation and investment on fishing equipments
have been discussed. The recommendations to improve the socioeconomic
conditions of the marine fishermen based on the studies
have been proposed.
