Abstract

Two categories of bottom trawl units are in operation along the Malabar-Konkan coast. The first category comprises of small boats conducting daily trips operating trawl nets with codend mesh size of 10-20 mm and catch generally prawns, , flatfishes and other finfishes. The second category comprises medium sized boats ) which conduct multiday fishing cruises and carry various types of nets such as the relatively large mesh sized ‘fish-nets’ targeting finfishes, and the ‘shrimp-nets’ having 15-18 mm mesh size for shrimps. The crafts are still undergoing several structural as well as mechanical changes to the advantage of the fishermen. n. The size has been increased suitably for the operation of larger gears, with provision of winches and other operational machines, the size and shape of otterboards too have undergone several changes in design and shape, fish holds have been modified to store more fish in better condition.
