Fishing gears and crafts used in Gumti river of Muradnagar upazila, Bangladesh

Abstract

The study describes traditional fishing gears and crafts available at Gumti river of Muradnagarupazila in Cumilla district, Bangladesh. The study was carried out by the collection of primary data through surveying individual fishermen. We found that there are 6 fishing gears available in the study area. Among them, 5 types of the fishing net (i.e., cast nets, seine net, lift net, push net, gill net) and a kind of fishing trap was identified. We also found 4 different types of crafts, including dinginauka, koshanauka, chandinauka, and sototempu. Synthetic twines are used for net making, which increases the fishing efficiency significantly. The life span of these nets varies according to their building materials. Sun-drying was the best approach for net preservation rather than using any chemicals or medicine. Besides, traditionally mehogany, raintree, shill koroi, garjan, gamari, jarul, chapulis woods and bamboos were found to be boat construction materials. The boats are painted with tar or pitch and burn oil for the protection. No modern instruments such as a compass, life-saving equipment are used by these boats. Most of the boats are mechanized, i.e. operated by engine.

Activities of fisheries co-operative societies in India to boost up and optimise the resources and economy of farmers: a review

“…The fishermen of India are mostly from the poorer section of society. They lack the funds needed to buy several costly crafts and gears for fishing and some of the crafts are so costly that they need to share buyers (Sakib et al 2020). The poor fishermen generally take loans from local people, which are mostly unauthorised (Sapovadia 2007).…”
