In India, fisheries sector contributes Rs. 19,355 crores to National Income, which is 14 per cent of the total Gross Domestic Product. The Mechanised crafts not only cover the distant area, but also give higher economic returns to the industry and greater safety to the fishermen. The problem of fish catch getting spoiled is not faced by the mechanized crafts. Mechanisation of fishing craft has resulted in the conflict of interest between the traditional craft owners and the mechanised craft owners.
