Abstract
Technological advances are essential part of any industry for furtherance and development and fishing can be no exception.The increase in production in capture fisheries was 6.0 to 6.5% per year. So that it causes the reduction in production. Increasing scarcity of fish was met with new technology to improve the performance of the gear, fleet and vessels. Diversification of fishing methods has contributed to this development and semipelagic trawling is one among diversified trawling methods. Target specific trawls were to meet this requirement and pelagic and semipelagic trawls contribute enormously in this direction.
