Description Fish aggregating devices (FAD) are natural or
artificial objects of permanent or temporary nature
that are used to lure the fish. When installed in
water bodies they attract and aggregate the fishes
as they can be used for the purpose of shade, shelter,
food and breeding ground by the fishes. Traditional
FAD systems have been used by the fishermen all
over the world to to facilitate easy harvest of fishes.
Materials like tree branches, bamboo shoots with
aquatic weeds etc, are commonly used in shallow
areas of creeks and backwaters to attract and
aggregate the fishes and it is variously known as
acadja fishery in West Africa, Samarahs in
Cambodia, Katha in Bangladesh and Padal fishing
in southern India.
