Abstract

Traditionally, the fishermen from Chennai and Chengulput areas of Tamil Nadu, India used madavalai (traditional dip-net made of cotton), thurivalai (cotton drag-net), edavalai (nylon dip-net) and periyavalai (cotton shore seine) to fish both pelagic and demersal species. These fishing nets required more investment and their operations needed more than one kattumaram (catamaran) and more labour. Thus, each fishing hamlet had three or four nets of each type, which gave employment for all the fishermen of the village.
