- Abstract
Ring seine is one of the most efficient fishing gear used to catch pelagic schooling fishes such as oil sardine, mackerel and operated largely by small scale fisherman along the Indian coast. It was introduced in the mid-eighties in the artisanal marine fisheries sector of Kerala. The ring seine operation was started in Ratnagiri in the year 2009. The number of ring seiners have increased drastically since its introduction. General characteristics have been modified since its introduction and described in the current communication. Two types of ring seines are presently operated to catch different pelagic fish species in Ratnagiri. The overall length of the net was observed to be range of 325 to 668 m with depth of 20 to 40 m and was fabricated by polyamide multifilament twine, having mesh size ranging from 12.7 to 25.4 mm. The ring seine is operated from fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) fishing boats, fitted with single or double out-board motors (OBM).
