Description Along the Kerala coast, the capital investment in mechanized, motorised and non-mechanised sectors of various
craft-gear combinations, on an average, ranges from Rs. 23000 for a small catamaran unit in the non-motorised
sector to RS.25 lakh for a small trawler in the mechanised sector. The average operating cost of individual craft
among these categories varies between Rs.8,000 and Rs.13 lakh providing returns to the tune of 15 per cent to 140
per cent of the capital investment. Economic loss due to juvenile fishing is severe for species like flatfish with a
difIerential ratio 0.14, anchovies with 0.20, thread tin breams with 0.21 , carangids 0.29 and shrimps 0.33.
