    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.

    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.
