Abstract
Traps are impounding devices into which an organism is lured and from which escape
is made difficult. Trap fisheries have economic and energy related advantage over active
search and capture fisheries. A review of I5 types of impounding devices and methods
which were prevalent in the immediate past or are still in use in southern India is presented in this paper, broadly following the classification for fishing gear categories as recommended by FAO.
