    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.

    Fish catch variations and associated variables among fishermen operating plank-built crafts
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists(India),Cochin, 2003) Balasubramaniam, S.; Ramesan, M.P.; Gopal, N.
    The fish catch variations in terms of the quantity of catch per day and the socio-personal variables of fishermen operating plank-built crafts (15-17 m) were analysed in three fishing centres. Of the 15 socio-personal variables, there were no significant differences between the artisanal fishermen respondents. The overall average fish catch for three centres varied between 526.81 to 533.46 kg per day of fishing among the fishermen and statistically, the fish catch differences were not significant between the fishing centres over a period of five months. In the correlation analysis, five variables viz., investment on craft; investment on net, investment on engine, size of fishing net used and total engine hp used were found to have significant positive correlation with the fish catch variation levels. In the regression analysis, R super(2) value was high (74.11%) and non-significant. Further, the independent variables including the fish catch variation levels did not have significant positive association with the innovation proneness index scores.
