Pots and traps are passive fishing gears that have
a low impact on the environment and are highly
selective and thus have advantages over other
fishing methods. In India, pot and trap fishing are
an age-old practice that is very common in inland
waters. However marine trap fishing in the country
is restricted to the Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay of the
South-east coast of India and the Enayam-
Kadiyapattinam coastal belt of the South-west coast.
Rectangular and semi-cylindrical-shaped traps are
the common designs used for catching lobster and
arrow-shaped traps fabricated with natural material
are the common fish traps operated in India.
Presently there is no recommended minimum mesh
size for trap fishing in the country. A recent trend
of shifting from natural material to synthetic
material for fabrication of traps was observed. In
India catch data from the trap fishing sector is
limited. The paper discusses key issues in trap
fishing and suggests recommendations for sustainable
marine trap fishing in India.
