Abstract
This study is aimed at comparing the technical and economic efficiency of two artisanal gear which have became popular among the Kerala fishermen during the post motorization period viz. ring seines and the mini-trawl net. The parameters taken for the study are catch per man hour and operating ratio. The results of the study show that the ring seines are technically the mere efficient gear but mini-trawlers showed greater economical viability with respect to operating costs.
