    Economic and behavioural trends in low energy fishing in the south coast of india
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1993) Annamalai, V.; Kandoran, M.K.
    Artisanal fishing in India based on low energy and low capital investment continues to be a paralled system of fishing against the more modern industrial fishing sector. Choice of low energy and low capital intensive techniques in fisheries is encouraged as much by the steep rise of fuel prices as by the traditional factors of labour abundance and the nature of domestic demand for fish. The recent adoption of outboard motors in traditional craft on a wider scale underscores the point that the choice of low energy fishing techniques is not to be equated with lack of economic rationalism and dynamism. This intermediate technology has enhanced the economic viability of artisanal fishing in the face of competition from mechanised sector. The innovation has further set in motion important organizational and behavioural changes in the traditional fishing sector.

    Economics of idle capacity-an exercise in methods
    (Cochin University of Science and Technology, 1998) Annamalai, V.
    Idle capacity in the sense of excess of fixed production facilities in relation to normal turnover will add to cost of production without adding to value and also could result in the wastage of capital, a scarce resource. Identification and quantification of idle capacity in fish processing industries is a difficult task given the high seasonality of raw material a short season could remain unused for better part of the year. Under what price and cost conditions such production capacity could turn idle or otherwise is explored using the welknown technique of marginal analysis.
