Abstract
The principle of fish aggregation is based on the tendency of fish to concentrate around floatsam and sunken structures for food, shade and shelter (hide-out from predators). The technology is quite popular in Japan, Philippines, United States of America and the Pacific Island countries, and has been in vogue for a long period. For the first time in India this technology was introduced through the pioneering efforts of Raja (1986) who designed and fabricated an indigenous Synthetic Fish Aggregating Device/Artificial Reef (FAD/AR) made from High Density Polyethelene (HDPE) - Patent Registration No. 650/MAS/87. The results of preliminary experiments were highly encouraging and were presented by Raja (1986). Subsequently, all aspects of the FADs/ARs were discussed in detail at the National Fishermen's Forum meeting held at Bangalore, and was well received and appreciated by the participants.
