Fishing using gillnets and hooks and line has so far been operated only Mar. Fish. Infor. Serv., T&E Ser., No. 188, 2006 6 from canoes fitted with outboard engines (OBM). The fishermen fish for a day or night or at the most for 2-3 days. However, of late, mechanized crafts (inboard mechanized) operating gillnets as well as hooks and line land their catch at Mangalore Fisheries Harbour.
