This document describes the aims, scope and results of experiments conducted with high-opening bottom trawls in Palk Bay and Gulf of Mannar, and off the Coromandel Coast, from July 1980 to May 1981 (An earlier paper, BOBP/WP/1O, described experiments conducted during March-July 1980). The experiments were carried out jointly by the FAO/SIDA Bay of Bengal Programme and the Directorate of Fisheries, Tamil Nadu. The BOBP provided the services of a fishing technologist, G. Pajot, and a consultant master fisherman, John Crockett. On behalf of the Government of Tamil Nadu, two officials - S. Pandurangan and P. V. Ramamoorthy - served as counterparts. The BOBP is a regional fisheries programme executed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and funded by the Swedish International Authority. It covers five countries bordering the Bay of Bengal — Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. Its main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and the supply of fish from the small sector in the five member countries. |
