Abstract
Boopendranath & Hameed (2009) has
determined GER per tonne of fish landed by
non-motorised gill netting operations as 0.61.
GER value per tonne of fish landed by stake
net operations (5.19 GJ) was higher than nonmotorised
gill netting operations by a factor
of 8.5. The predominance of juveniles in the
stake net landings has been reported by
Mammen (1984), Kurup et al. George et al.
(1998), (1993), Thomas et al. (1999), Vijayan
et al. (2000), Thomas et al. 2007) and others.
The stake net operations in the Vembanad
lake need to be strictly regulated in view of
the high GER of the stake net operations and
predominance of juveniles in the landings
