Abstract
Fish aggregating devices, more commonly called as FADs, are anchored or drifting objects that are placed in the ocean to attract fish. They may be a permanent, semi-permanent or temporary structure or device made from any material and used to lure fish. It acts as an ecosystem and provides a habitat for fish, increasing fish biomass in the inshore areas. The earliest surface/ midwater FADS were elements from nature such as driftwood and trees. Traditional FADS, based on a long-term fishing experience, are made on the spot with local materials and used in shallow coastal waters up to a depth of 50-200 m by small-scale fishers to catch small pelagic fishes.
