    An Instrument for Measuring the Pitch and Blade Thickness of Mineral Screw Propellers
    (Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Cochin, India, 1964) Velu, M
    A simple and accurate instrument has been designed and fabricated to measure the pitch and blade thickness at various points of a marine screw propeller for arriving at a correct shape and for proper balancing of the propeller. The instrument can be utilized by pattern makers, finishing shops, boat yards, etc. With existing instruments, this measurement is very difficult and cumbersome.

    Design of a half ton dehydrator for fish
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists(India),Cochin, 1964) Swaminath, M.
    A half-ton capacity artificial dryer has been designed at the Central Institute of Fisheries Technology for drying fish like Mackerel, Sardine, White Bait etc. The dryer is a hot air recirculation type 80 K.W. thermostatically controlled beating coils are made use of for heating the air. The air is circulated by means of an axial flow pattern fan. Drying takes place at a temp. of 115 degree F. The structure of the dryer to be made of Anjili wood. The cost of one dryer comes to about Rs. 20,000/-.

    Impulse generator for electrical fishing
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists(India),Cochin, 1967) Namboodiri, K.S.
    Since impulse current has been found to be more economical and more effective for conducting electrical electrical fishing, an impulse generator was designed and fabricated. The principle and description of the impulse generator are given in the paper. Eventhough it is not giving theoretical value of the impulse voltages has been found that for conducting electrical fishing it is producing necessary voltages.

    Operational depth telemeter for use in fishery practice
    (1969) Sivadas, T. K.
    An electronic instrument capable of measuring the depth of operation of fishing gear or any other object in the range 0-100 m with an accuracy of ± 1 m is described. The main components of the instrument are a hydrostatic inductive type pressure transducer and an electronic solid state indicating meter. The range of measurement can be extended considerably (up to 1000 in) by making easy adjustments in the instruments. The advantages of the instrument over those currently in use are its light weight, ruggedness and low cost.

    Application of ultrasonics in fishing industry and research - Part I
    (Seafood Exporters Association of India, 1969) Sivadas, T.K.
    The artichle discribs the application of ultrasonics in fishing industry.Ultrasonics is the very importent technic for underwater mesurement. It deals with ultrasonics for underwater use, sonar and its applications echo sounder and fish finder. The fecilities in modern fishing finder are white line, time signels, rangers, Visual indiction of signels , CRT display and underwater scaning system.

    Indigenous substitutes for` lignum vitae' for making stern bearings for fishing boats
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists(India),Cochin, 1969) Velu, M.; Sivadas, T.K.
    Difficulties are very often encountered in selecting proper material for making stern bearings for fishing boats. Conventional materials such as white metal, bronze etc wear out too fast also causing considerable wear to the propeller shaft. Lignum vitae, a natural wood commonly used for this purpose, is not available on a commercial scale in our country. Results of trials carried out to find out suitable substitutes for Iignum-vitae from among indigenous timbers are presented in this paper.

    A small scale fish meal dryer
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 1970) Chakraborty, P.K.; Pillai, S.A.; Balachandran, K.K.
    A batch type rotary drum dryer for the production of fish meal suitable for operation in the fishing villages of India has been designed, fabricated and operated successfully . The dyer can be used for production of fish meal from whole lean fish or press-cake from fish body oil extraction plants . The time taken to reach a moisture level below 10% is 5-8 hours depending upon the type of material fed into the dryer.

    Underwater warp tension meter
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), 1970) sivadas, T.K.
    A self contained electronic solid-state instrument capable of measuring the tension between the different parts of a trawl net in operation, has been designed and developed for the measurement in the range 0 to 300 kg with an accuracy of -t- 2 kg . The instrument is useful for measuring the resistance to motion of various accessories of a trawl net . It consists of an inductive type underwater tension transducer and an electronic indicating meter kept on board the vessel, both the units being connected by electric cable .

    Equipment for removal of sand from beach dried spratts
    (1970) Chakraborty, P. K.
    Sand adhering to spratts (a major item of dry fish exports from India) dried by the conventional sun-drying technique, affects adversely the export quality of the fish. A simple equipment designed and fabricated for the removal of sand from the fish is described. The equipment consists of a wire mesh drum provided with three horizontal coir brushes supported on a central shaft. The drum and the brushes rotate in opposite directions, providing the desired abrasive action for cleaning the fish. The operational conditions for attaining maximum cleaning efficiency (removal of 70-80% of the sand originally present) have been worked out.
