Description Technological intervention in the Indian fishing
industry are intended to increase marine fish
production of the country. Crude light fishing
methods practiced in Mandapam was reported for
catching silverbellies (Sekharan 1955, Indian J.
Fish., 1955; Anon., 1957, Indian J. Fish). Fishing
experiments with light attraction for pelagic fishes
using purseseines was conducted by Fishery Survey
of India (Ninan and Sudarsan, 1988, Occasional
papers of Fishery Survey of India No. 5) who
reported that no aggregation was noticed in the
areas where water turbidity was high and strong
current (above 2 Knots) was present. Mohamed
(2016) reviewed light fishing practices in India and
suggested restrictions in power of lights used, area
of operation, mesh size for exploitation etc (Marine
Fisheries Policy Brief No. 4, 2016, ICAR- CMFRI).
