It has been widely recognized in several countries that the installation of Artificial Fish Habitat (AFH) is helpful in increasing fish production. An AFH is an object or a construction, which promotes an ecosystem, provides habitat for fishes by attracting and aggregating them. Any drifting or sunken objects serve as AFHs. Temporary structures such as logs, branches of trees, palm leaves and automobile tyres, whether employed as floating or hanging or sunken structures, are known as fish aggregating structures, and are useful for attracting and aggregating fishes. These structures may not last for more than a month. Semipermanent structures such as concrete rings, ferrocement modules, high density polyethylene and steel structures, which are called artificial reefs are submerged at a depth of 20 to 25 m, last for 1 to 5 years, and are helpful in developing an ecosystem, thereby increasing the productivity.
