Abstract

The present study deals with the various types of Crafts and gears operated for exploitation of fishery resources in Tandava reservoir, Visakhapatnam district of Andhra Pradesh. The data collected during 2006-2008 are reported in this communication. Four types of crafts, five types of nets and five types of traps were operated for exploitation of the fishery in Tandava reservoir. It was observed that gill nets made of polyamide monofilament and multifilament are predominantly used . Traps made of split bamboo are used in this reservoir. Stick held drag nets are used in some areas of the reservoir to exploit murrel fish. The design details, fishery and operational methods of gears of Tandava reservoir of Andhra Pradesh state are presented in this communication
