Programme / project reportFishing Trials With High-Opening Bottom Trawls In Palk Bay, Tamil Nadu - BOBP/WP/10 1980
Also available in:
No results found.This document is the first report of fishing trials held with high-opening bottom trawls in Palk Bay, off Mandapam in Tamil Nadu, India, during March-July 1980. The trials were conducted jointly by the Bay of Bengal Programme and the Government of Tamil Nadu. The main objective of the trials was to as certain the technical and economic feasibility of using high-opening bottom trawls to tap demersal and pelagic stocks of food fish in the Palk Bay areas, and to train local counterparts in the desi gn, construction and use of these trawls. The Bay of Bengal Programme provided a consultant masterfisherman, Mr. John Crockett, to conduct the trials, under the supervision of Mr. G. Pajot, fishing technologist. On behalf of the Tamil Nadu Government, Mr. S. Pandurangan and Mr. P. V. Ramamurthy served as counterparts. -
Programme / project reportArtisanal Marine Fisheries In Orissa: A Techno-Demographic Study - BOBP/WP/29 1984
Also available in:
No results found.The fisheries census presented in this paper is part of a project for integrated development of marine fishing villages in the four coastal districts of Orissa. In the course of the project an extension service for traditional marine fisherfolk was established by the Department of Fisheries, Orissa; and training was provided to the extension officers in the areas of fishing technology, credit and finance, extension techniques and community development by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme. In conjunction with the training for extension officers, active extension work was also undertaken with BOBP support. This related to: (a) making institutional finance available for traditional fisherfolk; (b) establishing non-formal primary schools; (c) introducing and trying out motorized beachlanding craft and (d) introducing improved types of fishing gear. To meet the information requirements of the extension service, a few surveys were conducted. These include d a qualitative analysis of Orissa’s traditional fishing technology; a socio-cultural study of the major ethnic groups and castes forming the marine fisherfolk; a study of the economics of commonly used fishing methods; and last, but not the least, a fisheries census, which is presented in this paper. Actual data collection and compilation at the village level were carried out for these studies by the officers of the Marine Fisheries Extension Service of Orissa. In compiling and interpreting the data, valuable advice was provided by Mr. P. Mohapatra, Additional Director of Fisheries; Mr. B. B. Mohapatra and Mr. R. K. Singh, Deputy Directors; and Mr. B. C. Patnaik, Superintendent of Fisheries Statistics. It is hoped that the census methodology developed for this paper might be useful for other extension services in the Bay of Bengal region. -
Programme / project reportFishing Trials With High-Opening Bottom Trawls From Chandipur, Orissa, India - BOBP/WP/48 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper reports on the findings of fishing trials with one-boat bottom trawls conducted from Chandipur, in Balasore district, Orissa, in 1984/85. Detailed specifications and designs of some of the trawls are given. Trials during 65 fishing days clearly demonstrated the superiority of the high opening bottom trawls over the conventional bottom shrimp trawl. The trials were conducted along commercial lines employing private trawlers. The cooperating agency in Orissa was the Directorate of Fisheries. The Orissa fishing trials were part of a wider project organized jointly by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) and the Government of India for developing and introducing high-opening bottom trawling for food fish and shrimp. Two earlier working papers (BOB P/WP/10 and BOBP/WP/20) document trials conducted in Tamil Nadu, while one other paper (BOBP/WP/21) suggests improvements to the deck machinery and layout of small coastal trawlers.
