| Article Name : | | | AN INDIGENOUS FISH TRAP ‘KUIN’ FROM THE SATARA REGION OF WESTERN GHATS | | Author Name : | | | Rahul Jamdade , Vishwas Deshpande | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-4902 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | An indigenous fish trap called ‘Kuin’was discovered from Venna and Urmodi rivers in the Satara region of Western Ghats. This trap was built by tribal people using natural materials available in adjacent areas, making it cost efficient. A participatory research method of discussion, semi-structured interviews and onsite surveys with these tribal people revealed an interesting fact that even though these tribal were illiterate, they took care of avoiding gravid brooders and seedlings of fishes being trapped, thus maintaining their natural stock. Such an efficient well managed contraption is an innovative method of fish capture which has been practiced in this area for many generations. | | Keywords : | | |
