This book was released on 2021-01-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anthropological studies of marine fishermen have explored immense diversity among fishing societies, and the management strategies of marine resources in the context of globalization and changing technologies deserve the utmost attention from researchers in an uncertain economy. In India, fishing communities belong to various different castes and religions. This book presents an anthropological study of Hindu marine fishermen in two neighboring fishing villages situated in the same coastal belt, but administered by two different state governments (Kerala and Pondicherry). It explores the ways in which state interventions influence the development paradigm of a marginalized society like marine fishermen, and discusses the distribution pattern of production systems and its significance at the household level. The book also considers the gendered forms of economic transformation in fishing due to declining marine resources, and technological and climate change. It also focuses on the role of women fish vendors in market spaces as instituted by their distribution and credit connections and the unique experiences of the development process through anxieties, compromises and survival in an uncertain economy. The book will be of interest to researchers, administrators and NGOs working for the inclusive development of marginalized communities sharing common property resources.

Book excerpt: This is the first book of its kind dealing with the ecology, technology, and economy of the Mappila, Hindu, and Latin Christian fishermen of Kerala, India and their adaptation of modern technology. The traditional Hindu fishermen have lagged behind in adapting to modern technology, although the Latin Christians and the Mappilas have embraced every opportunity, and, as a result, they have become prosperous. The book highlights the impact of recent restrictions on trawling during monsoon seasons for the restoration of marine life along with other related issues. The author also pays special attention to evaluating the traditional ecological knowledge of the fishermen and the modern technological innovations. The continuity of the time-tested technology is emphasized in the traditional knowledge of fishermen in the understanding of various kinds of winds, currents, waves, and availability of species of fish. Caught between the hazardous nature of fishing as an occupation and modern technological innovations, should or could traditional fishermen give it up as a livelihood? This is the crux of the study. Following an anthropological approach, this is a study of absorbing interest.

Download or read book Technological Change and the Development of Marine Fishing Industry in India written by Ramakrishnan Korakandy and published by Daya Books. This book was released on 1994 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries management in the developing world is concerned largely with the problem of creating a commercial or industrial fishery sector. Fisheries development in India was initiated through a programme of planned technological change. The state of Kerala which is still the primary producer and exporter of marine fish from the country has been the focal point of this developmental strategy. Fisheries development in the state has not been studied in much detail in the past. This book born out of an earlier doctoral study is a vast treatise on the subject of technological change and economic development. It gives a blend of the economic theory of technological change and the process of fisheries development in the state of Kerala. The book, starting with a brief introductory chapter, enunciates the global literature on fisheries development, the conceptual framework and methodology of the study, the state of the art of the traditional sector of the primary marine fishing industry of Kerala, the process of technological change in the marine fishing industry of the state, their indicators, effects and characteristics, all in good succession and in great detail. The book in its core argues that the development achieved by the industry was limited and it was restricted by the limited growth strategy followed by the state. A concluding chapter of this book gives an array of findings of the study and offers valuable suggestions to the policy maker. With a post-script, it keeps the reader abreast of the developments in the industry. The book, apart from its theoretical underpinning, is rich with empirical data garnered from various sources. It also offers an excellent bibliography on the subject. Its language is smooth. It should be appealing to students, teachers, scholars and policy makers everywhere. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Economic Theory and Primary Marine Fishing Industry- A Review of Literature; Chapter 3: Conceptual Framework and Methodology; Chapter 4: Primary Marine Fishing Industry- The Traditional Sector; Chapter 5: Technological Change in the Primary Marine Fishing Industry- The Process; Chapter 6: Indicators of Technological Change; Chapter 7: Characteristics of Technological Change; Chapter 8: Summary of Findings, Conclusions and Recommendations.
Download or read book Fisheries Development and Management in India 1785 1986 written by Nune Subba Rao and published by Northern Book Centre. This book was released on 1989 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries play an important role in the economy of nations bordering the sea and this is especially true in a populous country like India where a large majority continues to live below the poverty line. Sea fishing has been an occupation with the coastal people of India since time immemorial forming an integral part of the maritime heritage. Machanisation has been introduced into the marine fishing with a view to exploit the fisheries potential all along the Indian coastline of 6,500 km by overcoming the deficiencies of the centuries old traditional fishing technology and to augment fish production with a higher fishing effort and also to raise the income levels and living standards of fishermen. The present book, based on the author’s doctoral dissertation, made a bold and pioneering attempt to evaluate the costs and earnings of mechanised and traditional boats for determining their relative operational efficiency and to examine intensively the effects of mechanisation on employment, income levels, consumption pattern and levels of living of fishermen and their social implications. While analysing the merits of the new fishing technology and also the reactions of different groups of fishermen to mechanisation, he spotlights the shortsightedness in the implementation of the programme of mechanisation resulting in a host of negative effects which have implications and also sets forth the valuable lessons which Indian experiences have to offer to the densely populated littoral nations in the Third World. To ensure enduring benefits to the vast majority of marine fishermen, the thesis underscores, among numerous other remedies the need for the provision of an intermediary technology, the need for the institutional support and marketing network and the need for the management of fisheries resources. It also calls for the policies to bring about socio-economic development of the fishing community on par with the rest of the society. All in all, a genuine contribution to knowledge of `grassroots' situations that will have enduring value and that can be useful in both academic and policy-formation circles.
Download or read book Conflict Over Fisheries in the Palk Bay Region written by V. Suryanarayan and published by Lancer Publishers. This book was released on 2005 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Palk Bay region, which separates the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu from northern parts of Sri Lanka, has been in the headlines during recent years. The rich fishing waters, especially lucrative on the Sri Lanka side of the maritime boundary, became a bone of contention between Tamil Nadu fishermen and the Sri Lanka Navy during the years of the ethnic conflict. With the declaration of a ceasefire between the Sri Lanka Government and the the Tamil Tigers, a new dimension has been added to the problem. Sri Lankan fishermen have resumed fishing operations; however, they find poaching by Indian trawlers into Sri Lanka waters to be a major hindrance to their livelihood. The irony of fisheries in the Palk Strait is that while the trawling ground is limited, trawlers are unlimited. As more and more fishermen start fishing for less and less, storm clouds gather over the Palk Bay. What is the background to this controversy? What are the major issues? Can Indian interests, especially the interests of Tamil Nadu fishermen, be ensured, fostered and protected without depriving the livelihood of Sri Lankan fishermen? Can India and Sri Lanka work together and jointly enrich the marine resources in the southern part of South Asia? This book is an attempt to throw light on these and other relevant critical issues. It is hoped the conclusions would stimulate fresh thinking in New Delhi, Colombo, Chennai and Jaffna. REVIEWS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is life? What is water? What is sound? In Sounding the Limits of Life, anthropologist Stefan Helmreich investigates how contemporary scientists—biologists, oceanographers, and audio engineers—are redefining these crucial concepts. Life, water, and sound are phenomena at once empirical and abstract, material and formal, scientific and social. In the age of synthetic biology, rising sea levels, and new technologies of listening, these phenomena stretch toward their conceptual snapping points, breaching the boundaries between the natural, cultural, and virtual. Through examinations of the computational life sciences, marine biology, astrobiology, acoustics, and more, Helmreich follows scientists to the limits of these categories. Along the way, he offers critical accounts of such other-than-human entities as digital life forms, microbes, coral reefs, whales, seawater, extraterrestrials, tsunamis, seashells, and bionic cochlea. He develops a new notion of "sounding"—as investigating, fathoming, listening—to describe the form of inquiry appropriate for tracking meanings and practices of the biological, aquatic, and sonic in a time of global change and climate crisis. Sounding the Limits of Life shows that life, water, and sound no longer mean what they once did, and that what count as their essential natures are under dynamic revision.
