Fisheries is a primary economic activity but also the prime livelihood activity of specific communities through generations. Like in all walks of life of our time, this sector has also undergone drastic changes. The turning point of immense consequence was the introduction of mechanization through the Indo-Norwegian Project (INP) that triggered technological changes in fisheries sector. This interfered with the hitherto traditional gears, knowledge and systems in the sector often qualified as ‘traditional science’ with far-reaching implications on work- organisation, community based management regimes, and socio-economic milieu of traditional fisheries. As the changes through INP made deeper inroads, traditional fishermen were compelled to shift from their artisanal character in due course of time. But looking back, from a researcher point of view and also a keen observer weighing transformations the sector underwent over the years, it is my wish to share my anxiety whether is it ‘Development or Displacement’ the sector witnessed? It is to share this ambiguity and also to give the reader the prospect to judge for themselves, a selection of articles from a collection of 70 including some research studies over a period of three decades become the content of this book. The selected articles shall vouch that over the years the sector has undergone noticeable changes in; fishing activity, technology, workforce, marketing, management systems including the living conditions of the community.
