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
