| Description |
Mechanisation of fishing operation in Karnataka was initiated with the introduction of 30 to 43 feet trawlers in 1957 for exploiting inshore demersal resources including shrimps. Introduction of purse seiners in the 1970s extended the area of fishing operation and enhanced pelagic fish landings significantly. Motorisation of traditional crafts like gillnetters and longliners and encouragement of offshore fishing beyond 50 m depth using bigger vessels for duration of 12-15 days have effectively increased the range and effort of fishing operations. Further, financial institutions have extended loan facilities for acquiring fishing boats which helped to enhance the fleet strength. |
