Abstract

Coir in the form of twines and ropes is a fishing gear material widely used,
particularly in South India, for the fabrication of essential components of
several types of fishing implements. Very little information is on record
elucidating the essential dynamic characteristics of this important gear
material. Miyamoto and Shariff (1958) in an earlier communication have
presented certain details on the characteristics and rotting qualities of one
variety of coir twine. The present study on the characteristics of different
grades of coir twines was undertaken at the instance of Dr. Miyamoto with
a view to evaluate the qualities of the different grades of coir twines and to
facilitate determination of their utility as a fishing gear material.
