    Economics of operation of fishing vessels (trawlers)
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1985) Iyer, H.K.; Unnithan, G.R.; Rao, P.S.; Nair, A.K.K.; Nair, R.G.
    The economics of operation of fishing trawlers of 9.75m and 10.97m overall length is reported on the basis of a case study. There is a significant positive correlation between the number of fishing trips and the average receipts per trip. The profits of the 9.75m and 10.97m trawlers for the fishing season were 26.9% and 21.7% respectively on the basis of 225 fishing trips in a year. The break even point for the trawlers lies between 175 and 185 fishing trips. Fuel cost contributes nearly 45% of the cost of operation of the boat. Subsidy to diesel oil was suggested to improve the profitability of the fishing trawlers.

    Economics of operation of fishing vessels for low energy fishing
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1993) Iyer, H.K.
    Gill netting and line fishing are considered to be two most important methods of low energy fishing as vessels engaged in these types of fishing activities do not expend fuel for towing heavy nets and further, fishing grounds are not damaged by fishing activities. These types of fishing activities are seasonal and mostly depend on the types of fishery. The maintenance cost of these types of vessels ranges between 6 and 8% of capital cost per annum and the annual profit ranges from 15 to 25%. Even in the face of declining trend in energy yield and increasing trend in the variable cost of production, this type of low energy fishing activities could survive profitably.

    Idle capacity of fish processing (freezing) plants in india-a comparative study of plants in east and west coasts
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1985) Iyer, H.K.; Rao, P.S.; Nair, A.K.K.; Nair, R.G.
    The extent of idle capacity in the fish processing plants in India estimated by a stratified sampling plan for 1978 to 1981 and the comparison of the idle capacity in the west and east coasts are reported. There was no appreciable difference in the idle capacity of plants between the coasts. a marked decreasing trend in the idle capacity was observed in both the coasts for he period under study. Causes for under utilisation and remedial measures are analysed.
