Abstract
This paper analyses the socio-personal characteristics of fishermen who operate the
marine plywood crafts in Kerala, India. The comparative profiles of the fishermen operating
marine plywood crafts, dugout canoes and plank-built crafts are presented. The results
revealed that the fishermen operating marine plywood crafts had higher mean scores on
annual income, number of fishing days in a year, number of fishing gears used and total
investment than the other two categories.
