Indigenous Estuarine Fishing Gears of West Bengal
Subscribe/Renew Journal
While conducting fishery resource surveys and efficiency studies on estuarine fishing gears of West Bengal during 2002-03 and 2003-04, an attempt was made to inventorise indigenous fishing gears of Hooghly-Matia estuarine ecosystems of West Bengal. This forms the basis of the present communication. In 1906, Sir K. G. Gupta (1908) undertook investigations on the fisheries of the province of Bengal. Since then, several workers have studied the fish and fisheries resources of Hooghly-Matla estuaries (Hora, 1949; Pillay and Ghosh, 1962; Saha, 1970; Mitra et al, 1997; Pramanik and Nandi, 2004). However, very little work is done on fishing gears of this region (Saha, 1970).
