Abstract
The economic sustainability of marine fishing and livelihood security of fishers largely depend on the economic viability of fishing operations. The inboard ring seiners are one of the major fishing gears employed by the traditional fishermen for harvesting small pelagic fishes in Kerala. An economic analysis of the inboard ring seine operations in Ernakulam District revealed that although the gross revenue earned by these fishing units increased in nominal terms during 2014-2018 period, there was downward trend in the economic efficiency. The net operating income per fishing trip declined from `59,936 in 2014 to `33,527 in 2018 with pronounced rise in fishing costs from `88,806 in 2014 to `1,28,749 in 2018. The increase in the size of craft, gear and engine horse power contributed to enhanced fishing capacity and fuel costs and it is highly imperative to standardise the capacity of these fishing units to achieve optimal input use efficiency
