ProjectProgramme / project reportKattumaram Fisheries and Fisherfolk; A Study in Kothapatnam Pallipalem, Andhra Pradesh, India-BOBP/WP/70 1991
Also available in:
No results found.This working paper describes the attempt made to conduct an integrated study of the biological, economic and sociological aspects of the fisheries and fisherfolk that use one of the most traditional and popular fishing craft of the east coast of India kattumaram. The benefits of the results from such an approach are also presented in this report. The paper discusses the significance of using one or more types of fishing gear with such a traditional craft, correlation between income from fishin g and income from other sources and consequent diversity in income categories, relative performance by other types of craft, interactive fishing problems, exploitation of resources, underutilized resources, motorization of traditional craft, marketing practices and improvements and opportunities for additional/alternative income generation. Periodic exchanges of information between the study-group and fisherfolk, in the course of this study, opened the doors to communication with fisherfolk on i ssues concerning resources and management and culminated in the preparation of a series of extension material in this field. This project was carried out in cooperation with the Department of Fisheries, Andhra Pradesh State, India, and was sponsored by a Bayof Bengal Programme (BOBP) project, ‘Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal’ (GCP/RAS/118/MUL). The post-harvest technological investigations were conducted under the direction and supervision of Mr. David Walker, Adviser , ODA. The socio-economic investigations were conducted by Ms. Christina Lundquist, Socio-economist (APO) of the Bay of Bengal Programme. And Messrs P.R. Prathap Kumar and I. Ramaswamy were responsible for painstakingly collecting most of the data included in this report. -

Also available in:
No results found.This paper compares the economic performance of the beachianding craft (BLC) and several other motorized and non-motorized small-scale fishing craft in three villages on the east coast of India, viz. Pentakota (Orissa), Tummelapenta (Andhra Pradesh) and Thirumullaivasal (Tamil Nadu). The relationship between the fishing operations of the different craft and various factors affecting BLC operations are also discussed. The study, conducted during 1989 through the beginning of 1990, and this pap er which reports on it, have been sponsored by the Bay of Bengal Programme’s (BOBP) Small-Scale Fisherfolk Communities in the Bay of Bengal (GCP/RAS/1l8/MUL). Assistance in conducting the study and completing this report was received from Theodore Selvaraj, Deputy Director of Fisheries (Marine), Madras (Tamil Nadu), Prabaharadu, Inspector of Fisheries, Thirumullaivasal (Tamil Nadu), Manindra Nath Ghose, Superintendent of Fisheries, Pun (Orissa), C.

ProjectProgramme / 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.
