Description Not Available
The current study was carried out to document
different designs of small-scale fishing vessels and
gears from selected centers of Nagapattinam to
Kanyakumari districts, along the coast of Tamil
Nadu. Personal interviews and direct observation
were used to gather primary data. The two major
groups, wooden and FRP fishing vessels were
segregated, out of which 12 types were sub-grouped
for design documentation. Based on the type, area
and method of operation, small-scale fishing gears
were grouped as gillnets, hook and lines, and trawl
nets. In total, 12 types of fishing vessels and 9
different types of fishing gears were recorded.
Design parameter of each fishing vessel and gear
was recorded and technological development in
small-scale fisheries was observed. The outcome of
the study is a comprehensive database of selected
small-scale fishing systems, which can be the source
of primary input for researchers, government
agencies, and other stakeholders to formulate
guidelines and policies.
