    Communication of innovations among traditional fishermen
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1993) Balasubramaniam, S.; Kandoran, M.K.; Mohan, B.
    Communication of technological innovations is a fundamental pre-requisite for their rapid diffusion and adoption among traditional fishermen. This paper aims to highlight the conceptual framework of communication process, the communication behaviour of traditional fishermen and the factors influencing the communication of innovations. In traditional fishery sector, due to mechanization of country craft, several socio-personal and technological factors interplay and influence the communication behaviour. Their nature of influence and scope are presented in this paper. Further, the information sources utilized by fishermen, their information need and the credibility of various sources of information would facilitate the communication planners and administrators to strengthen the communication of technologies among fishermen.

    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.

    Evaluation of technology transfer and impact among fishermen
    (Cochin University of Science and Technology, 1998) Balasubramaniam, S.; Kandoran, M.K.; Mohan, B.; Bihari, B.
    This paper presents the evaluation of technology transfer and impact in terms of the adoption behaviour and communication behaviour of the clientele system. The fishermen operating plankbuilt crafts in Kerala had higher mean scores than the fishermen operating catamarans. Among the samples from Tamilnadu, the adoption behaviour did not differ significantly though the communication behaviour components differed significantly between the fishermen categories. In the multiple regression analysis, the R super(2) values revealed that 59.62% to 60.19% variations in the communication behaviour and 79.73% to 90.74% variations in the adoption behaviour were jointly influenced by the selected independent variables among the fishermen operating plankbuilt crafts. The extent of adoption of technological practices (44.23% to 59.52%) in all categories revealed the scope to improve the technological adoption through comprehensive marine fisheries extension schemes.

    Experience of cift in transferring fisheries technologies for employment generation among fisherwomen
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1988) Kandoran, M.K.; Thiagarajan, R.; Annamalai, V.; Thomas, M.
    This paper deals with the technology transfer programmes undertaken by Central Institute of Fisheries Technology for employment generation among coastal women.
