Abstract

This study is aimed at comparing the technical and economic efficiency of two
artisanal gear which have became popular among the Kerala fishermen during
the post motorisation period viz. ring seines and the mini-trawl net. The
parameters taken for the study are catch per man hour and operating ratio.
The results of the study show that the ring seines are technically the more
efficient gear but mini-trawls showed greater economical viability with respect
to operating costs.
