ProjectPen Culture Of Shrimp By Fisherfolk:The BOBP Experience In Killai,Tamil Nadu, India - BOBP/WP/49 1987
Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes a shrimp pen culture pilot activity at KiIIai, Tamil Nadu, India under which selected fishermen operated small-sized shrimp pens, applying a technology package for KilIai conditions devised earlier during 21 months of technical trials by the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP). The paper discusses the project’s socio-economic and technical approach, the problems faced during implementation, the results, and some recommendations for bett er profitability. A BOBP socio-economist and a senior administrative officer of the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Fisheries were responsible for the overall planning, implementation and monitoring. Technical inputs were provided by a BOBP aquaculture technologist. The field team at the project site consisted of two aquaculture technologists (biologists) of the TNDF, while a social worker engaged by BOBP liaised with fisherfolk and the technology team. This is the third paper on the KiIIai p roject. BOBP/WP/35 discussed the findings of 21 months of technical trials during 1982—84, while BOBP/WP/32 discussed a techno-economic end social feasibility study of shrimp pen culture, based on field surveys in the region conducted late 1983, after the technical trials. -

Also available in:
No results found.This paper describes the results of a 21 -month experiment on pen culture of shrimp and finfish in the backwaters of Killai in South Arcot district, Tamil Nadu, India. It concludes that shrimp pen culture is technically feasible and that Penaeus indicus is the most promising of culture species. The experiment was carried out in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries, Tamil Nadu. The authors of the paper thank Mr. A. D. Isaac Rajendran, Joint Director of Fisheries, and other official s for their cooperation and assistance. The paper and the experiment on which it is based are activities of the small-scale fisheries project of the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP).

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.
