 note = {This study emphasises the special character of small-scale fisheries within the complex
economic structure. It is seen that household production for subsistence still predominates the
domestic fisheries within a communal society. While within this traditional framework,
artisanal-commercial fisheries has developed with introduced simple techniques and gear,
distinguished by low productivity and inferior marketing and distribution systems. These
coastal fisheries and communal tenure system has led towards a reasonable exploitation,
conservation and management of resources and has enabled the coastal fisheries to provide for
the domestic demand. The study further tries to point out the limitations of its progress and its
near stagnation under the present circumstances.
The rural socio-economics of the peasant farmer has been adopted for the analysis on small
scale household fishermen and fisheries production. The fishing and agricultural community
studies has been based on sociological analysis in terms of the structure and organisation of the
community and the social and cultural relations of production and distribution. Furthermore an
economic approach has been used to visualise within the definitions of the capitalistic process.},
