3. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
CIFT-MPEDA TED
Shrimp trawling in coastal waters is one of the major fishing activities in the coastal states of India in which incidental capture of turtles leading to mortality was reported. The only way to rescue turtles in live condition from shrimp trawls is the adoption of a proper turtle excluder device (TED). Trials with CIFT-MPEDA TED revealed no catch loss of shrimps and for other components, the loss was 1.5 to 3%. In association with MPEDA, CIFT-MPEDA TED had been demonstrated in the east and west coasts of India on board CIFT research vessels and commercial trawlers |
