Abstract
In Ratnagiri, the nets were operated
generally at depths less than 25 m while the
nets along the Kerala coast were operated up
to a depth of 45 m (Sathiadas et al., 1993).
The use of powerful engines and absence of
substantial catch from the inshore waters,
urged fishermen of Cochin and Alleppey to
venture into depths up to 45 m during the
daytime and up to 55 m at night (Edwin &
Hridaynathan, 1996).The basic information on the design
characteristics, rigging and modalities of
operation of the ring seine net with pockets,
in Ratnagiri would help in technological
innovations the net may go through in the
coming decades
