Programme / project reportTraditional Marine Fishing Craft And Gear Of Orissa - BOBP/WP/24 1986
Also available in:
No results found.In August and September 1980, a survey was carried out in the Balasore, Cuttack, Pun and Ganjam districts of Orissa, to obtain information on the type of traditional fishing craft and gear, their methods of operation, cost, and possibilities for improvement and introduction of new prototypes and innovations. All the important villages engaged in marine fisheries were visited. This working paper presents the results of the survey. A brief summary of the types of fishing craft and gear is fol lowed by detailed data on materials and construction of craft and gear. The document may serve as a guide for specific extension work among small-scale fishermen and also provide a basis for experiments to improve fishing craft and gear. The survey and this paper are an activity of the Project for Small-Scale Fisheries Developmentof the Bay of Bengal Programme. The project is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organizati on of the United Nations (FAQ). The main goal of the project is to develop, demonstrate and promote technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk in five countries that border the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia Sri Lanka and Thailand. -
Programme / project reportMotorization of Dinghy Boats In Kasafal, Orissa-BOBP/MIS/05 1986
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes an attempt to motorize traditional fishing boats (dinghies) commonly used in Balasore district, Orissa, India. Several technical problems were encountered and three different modes of power transmission were tested. The motorized dinghies were employed in commercial fishing operations and their performance was compared with that of non-motorized dinghies. The work was sponsored by NORAD (the Norwegian Agency for International Development) under an Indo-Norwegian bilatera l project for assistance to traditional fisheries in Kasafal, Balasore district, and implemented through the Directorate of Fisheries in Orissa. Mr. B.B. Mohapatra, Dy. Director of Fisheries, Balasore, was responsible for the Directorate’s input. The small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP) was engaged by NORAD for technical execution of the project. Mr. A. Overa, BOBP’s Fishing Craft Engineer, was responsible for the technical inputs till mid-1985; thereafter Mr. 0. Gulbrandsen, Naval Architect (Consultant), and Mr. S. Johansen, BOBP Naval Architect (Associate Professional Officer), supervised the modification of hulls and installation of engines, prepared drawings, and in general looked after technical details. The BOBP’s small-scale fisheries project began in 1979 and covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal - Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Funded by SIDA (Swedish International Development Authority) and executed by the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations), the project seeks to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk in member countries. -
