Some 15,000 trawlers operate all along the east and west coasts of India. This working paper presents details of innovations to improve the deck machinery and layout of small coastal trawlers in Tuticorin and Nagapattinam. They are also applicable to coastal trawlers elsewhere in the region. The innovations were tried out during fishing trials of high-opening bottom trawls begun in 1980 in Palk Bay and the Gulf of Mannar. They led to more efficient handling of trawis and to safer and more comfortable working conditions for the fishermen in pursuance of the objectives of BOBP. The design, testing and demonstration of the innovations were therefore undertaken as an activity supplementary to the fishing trials. The two activities are consequently reported in separate working papers (BOBP/WP/20 and BOBP/WP/21). The work was done in co-operation with the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Fisheries, which provided two trawlers and counterpart staff for the trials; and private boatowners on whose boats new equipment was installed. |
