Krishna was investigated during 2001-02 along
with the status of fish and fisheries. Documentation of crafts and gears in
freshwater sector of India
is scanty. This paper is an attempt to record the fishery related indigenous
technological knowledge in terms of fishing crafts and gear used in river Krishna. As many as
6 different types of crafts and 10 different gear were encountered during the
monsoon survey of the river. The crafts were coracle, plank-built boat, palm-canoe,
thermocol raft, rubber tube platform and banana stem raft. The gears were gill net,
cast net, drag net, push net (triangular), scoop net, ring net, hook and line,
lantern net (light trap), box trap and cradle trap. |
