Trap fishing in the Gulf of Mannar and Palk Bay
2008
Trap fishing is one of the indigenous methods of
fishing prevalent in the Gulf of Mannar and Palk
Bay. Fish traps, locally known as 'koodu' are
extensively used in this area for perch fishery. As
these areas are shallow, with rocks and corals, other
methods of fishing using nets cannot be operated
successfully, which probably explains the
development of trap fishing in this part of the country
as an organised fishery.
