    FRP sheathed rubber wood canoes - A cost effective technology for the artisanal fisheries sector
    (Journal of the Timber Development Association of India., 2005) Edwin, Leela; . Meenakumari, B.
    Wood of the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is an under- utilised agricultural by product, which can be upgraded through preservative treatment for the construction offishing canoes. Two such canoes of length 6.4m and 6.05m were constructed. The canoes have been given for experimental fishing to artisanal fishermen operating in the backwater sand in the sea for the past 29 months and are now being operated successfully by fishermen in the sea and in backwaters.
