FISH
Introduction.
Kolaba district is one of the most important maritime districts
of the State with a coastal belt extending to about 100 miles, Fishing industry in the district is mainly dependent upon the exploitation of marine resources.
The district is considered under-developed in practically every field and fisheries is no exception to it. The area, though rich in fishes, has remained under-exploited mainly because of the age-old methods of fishing by sail crafts. In addition to this, state of under-development is due to lack of facilities in communication, transport and preservation. Illiteracy prevailing amongst the fishermen of the district is also one of the handicaps in the general development of fisheries.
The ichthyological fauna of Kolaba is very rich comprising a good number of varieties.
Fishing Gear.
Fishing gear of Kolaba district can be grouped under the following five main
heads:―
(A) Gill nets; (B) Long lines; (C) Seine nets; (D) Bag nets; (E) Cast nets.
(A) Gill nets:
(1) Wavri net: This is a surface drift net used all along the coast. This net consists of 20-25 pieces. Each piece varies from ' 140' to 240' in length and 15' in breadth. Mesh size is 3" to 4" (stretched). The nets are made out of hemp and cotton twine, varying from 9-15 plies of 18 to 20 count. The fishermen are gradually changing over to nylon gill nets made out of 210 to 250 Danier yarn of 9-12 plies. The approximate cost of each
piece is estimated at between Rs. 25 to Rs. 40 for hemp and cotton twine and between Rs. 80 to Rs 140 for nylon. The net is used for catching pomfrets, tuna, silver bar, seer fish etc. These nets are used from September to December and late in summer during April and May.
(2) Pas or Saranga Jal. This is also a type of surface drift net and, as the name indicates, is exclusively used for catching pomfrets. The net. consists of 20-40 pieces, each piece measuring 240' in length and 15' in breadth with mesh size of 5" to 6". The material used in the construction of the gear is similar to that used for Wavri nets described above.
(3) Ghol net: As the name suggests, the net is used mainly to catch Ghol fish. The net consists of 12 to 16 pieces, each piece measuring 120' in length and 10' in breadth with mesh size of 6".
(4) Budi net: This is a bottom set gill net made of hemp twine of 24 plies. As the net is used for catching big fishes like Sharks, Skates, Rays etc., the mesh size is 8" to 9". Each unit consists of 7 to 10 pieces, each piece measuring 100' in length and 12' in breadth.
(B) Long lines:
(5) In this type of fishing Mustad hooks Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 6, 7,
8, 9 are most commonly used. Length of each line varies from
500' to 1,200' and about 100 hooks are suspended from one line.
Seven to twelve such lines are used at a time. Hooks are baited
with pieces of catfish, ribbon fish and squids depending upon the
size of hooks to be used. It may be stated that this method of
fishing has practically replaced fishing by bottom set gill nets,
which are rather expensive compared with long lines. Main
varieties of fish caught by long line fishing are catfishes, pom
hole fishes and sharks.
(C) Seine nets:
(6) Rampan net (shore seine): The net consists of three pieces known as (i) Karel, (ii) Modan and (iii) Ghol
net; their measurements are as follows:―

Modan |
21' |
28' to 30' |
1" | |
Ghol |
18' |
31'to 33' |
¼" to ¾" |
In Rampan net of 100 pieces, Karel part consists of 60 pieces; Modan consists of 22 pieces and Ghol consists of 18 pieces. Rampan' nets which are used at Malvan and Devbag consist of 200 to 300 pieces of the abovementioned components. Approximately 30 to 40 persons are required for dragging the net. Material used for making the gear is hemp and cotton twine. The net is used for catching shoal fishes like mackerel and sardines.
(7) Dhangad Jal: This is another type of seine net consisting
of seven to eight pieces, each piece measuring 100' in length and
12' in breadth having mesh size of 7" to 8". The net is constructed of hemp twine and is used for catching karel and surmai.
(D) Bag nets:
(8) Dol: This is a funnel-shaped net and consists of five
distinct portions, viz: (1) Mhor; (2) Chirate; (3) Katra;
(4) Majola and (5) Khola. The mesh size diminishes from 9" to
½" from Mhor to Khola. The length of the net varies from
80' to 120' and is fixed with the help of sus (barrels). Fishes
caught in the net are jew fish, ribbon fish, mandeli, Bombay
ducks and prawns.
(9) Bokshi: This is a miniature dol net operated in the creeks.
(E) Cast nets:
(10) Pag: The net is prepared from cotton twine and has a
circumference of 125' and a radius of 12' to 18'. Mesh size varies from ⅛" to 1". Fishes caught in the net are sardines, mackerels and prawns.
Fishing Season.
Fishing season commences from September and lasts till the end of May. There is practically no fishing in the monsoon except in the creeks.
Sharks, skates, rays, mackerels, sardines, tuna, surmai, pomfret, karel, dagol and catfish form the main varieties of the district: -
(1) Sharks, skates and rays: They are caught throughout
the fishing season with the help of long-lines and bottom-set
gill-nets.
(2) Mackerels and sardines: They are caught in Rampan
nets from November to February.
(3) Tuna and Surmai: They are caught in the surface drift-nets from September to December.
(4) Pomfrets: They are caught in surface as well as bottom-set gill-nets from September to December and April-May.
(5) Silver bar or karli: These are mostly caught in bottom-sot gill-nets from January to May.
(6) Dagol and catfishes: These are mostly caught by long-lines throughout the fishing season.
Fishing ranks only next to agriculture in Kolaba district as far as means of livelihood are concerned. According to 1951-Census 8,146 people were engaged in fishing. Fishing is carried on in sea, creeks, lakes and rivers. The development of fisheries and encouragement and assistance to the fishermen of the district is entrusted with the Superintendent of Fisheries, Bombay, and Since 1959 a separate office has been opened at Alibag for this purpose.
Government Assistance.
The Fisheries Department provides a number of facilities to encourage fishery
activity in the district. Fry of special variety which breeds with ease and
multiplies rapidly is brought from Calcutta and supplied at concessional rates. Eighty-one motor boats were so far given to the fishermen's co-operative societies on loan-cum-assistance basis while individuals are given loan only. The department also runs a fisheries school at Bagmandle in Shriwardhan where net-making, carpentry and fishing are taught together with other subjects. The fishermen are given assistance and loan for the purchase of sail cloth, suitable yarn for nets, purchase or repair of boats, etc., through fisheries societies. Government assistance can be easily had through the co-operative societies. Besides, the catch shows a definite increase with the use of modern and costly implements. The number of fishing societies is thus on the increase. At present, 13 fishing societies are actively working in the district to promote the fishermen's interests.
Potentialities.
The district promises good prospects for development of Fisheries. The department has thus formulated various schemes for implementation in the near future. These include improved methods of fishing, quick and efficient transport of the catch to the market places, provision of cold storages, setting up factory for making fish oils, etc.
