    Satellite chlorophyll image and fish catch data from southwest coast of Kerala, India - A preliminary attempt of correlation.
    (NIO, Goa, 2000) Meenakumari, B.; Sreedhar, U.; Prakash, R.Raghu; Nayak, Shailesh; .Dwivedi, R.M.; Beenakumari, S
    Recognising the ocean features such as water colour. turbidity. seas tate. size and direction of waves. wind patterns. temperature variations over sea surface etc. can be efficiently used to formulate fishing strategies, efforts have been made by India to utilise satelllite based remote sensing for identification and exploitation of potential fishing grounds. The Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Kochi and Space Applications Centre. Ahmedabad as collaborating agencies have attempted to correlate the chlorophyll images taken by IRS P4 OCM with the ground truth data. The attempt was to analyse the catch data collected from the. trawling boats operating from Munambam - a fishing yillage in Kerala. Emphasis was on the correlation of the catch data of the pink prawns and satellite generated chlorophyll image of the area of operation of the boats. It was observed that in all the images where no chlorophyll gradient was seen, catches have been either average or poor. More information is being gathered to study the relationship between the chlorophyll gradient and the fish distribution pattern so as to use chlorophyll gradient as a tool for the prediction of Potential Fishing Zones.

    Polypropylene Netting Yarns
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India)Cochin, 1985) Meenakumari, B; Radhalakshmi, K; Nayar, S.Gopalan
    Polypropylene is a non-apparel fibre popular in the west because of its inherent properties and versatility. It is melt spun from polypropylene resin. First introduced in 1954 in Italy (Klust, 1964) its production started in India in 1976 and only in the eightees its use as a multifilament yarn for the benefit of the fishing industry was envisaged. This paper deals with (he first set of twines made available in the country for fish net and makes a comparison with polyamide multifilament twines because of the latter's pre-eminence in the fishing industry.

    Observation of the Inter relation of Marine Corrosion and Fouling ina tropical environment
    (Marine Biology ,6th international congress on marine Corrosion and fouling, 1984-09-08) Ravindran, K; Pillai, A.G.Gopalakrishna
    Intense pitting ,tunneling and perforations of SS304 under heavy deposite of fouling limit the use of this alloy in ocean engineering .Carbon steel ,Al 2S and Al M57S were free from pitting .Fouling in general was very heavy on all metallic surfaces and a maximum fouling load of 21.9 kg m-2 was observed on non-toxic metal.Based on the fouling load Cochin port appears to fall under fouled port.

    Shark long lining experiments in the west coast of India
    (Society of Fisheries Technologists (India), Cochin, 1993) George, V.C; Mathai, P.G.; Kunjipalu, K.K.; Patil, M.R.; Boopendranath, M.R.; George, N.A.
    Results of shark long line fishing experiments conducted along the west coast of India are presented in this communication. Specification of experimental gear is described. Results indicate presence of lucrative shark fishing grounds from Angria bank, west of Ratnagiri for commercial exploitation. An overall hooking rate of 7.4% was obtained. Indian flat round bent hooks have been found as effective as Norwegian round bent hooks of size 0/4.
