Abstract
Fishing baits are selected ingeniously keeping in the
food habits and feeding behaviour of the target
species. This type of traditional knowledge needs to
be documented as many such ITKs are slowly going
into oblivion due to use of advanced fishing gear.
At each of the three stations, an average of 100-150
fishers practice hook and line fishing and the
random use of crab bait may cause unnecessary
stress to the crab populations from conservation
start point. Therefore this practice of using crab
especially the smaller ones, like in Bhavani, warrants
further investigation.
