1973

Of the three main methods of capturing fish, namely luring, attacking and snaring, the last mentioned has hitherto proved to be relatively more effective and apparently yielded better returns. Trawling falls under this method. The trawl is an economic gear, in terms of investment and yield, even in spite of the fact that the total trawl catches come only second to that of the seines. Commercial trawling in Indian seas is of recent origin and seems to have been initially introduced for the purpose of ground resources survey.
