Subject Crafts & Gear
Fishery Technology
 
Description India with a long coastline of 8041 km and an Exclusive
Economic Zone of 2.02 million km^ depends on the traditional
as well as the mechanised sector for exploitation of fishery
resources. There are at present about 1,70,000 traditional
craft, 36,000 mechanised boats and about 200 deep sea trawlers
operating in our coastal waters. The capital investment in this
sector amounts to about Rs. 6,000 crores. The traditional craft
are constructed using wood alone whereas larger mechanised
vessels are made from steel, fibreglass reinforced plastic,
ferrocement etc. These materials, especially wood, are
subjected to deterioration due to their constant interaction
with the seawater. In this context the need for protection of
fishing craft gains much importance.
