1.1 Foreword …

Development of fishery harbours all along the Indian coast is crucial in view of the unexploited and under-exploited marine fishery resources.

The fact that the existing harbour facilities in the country can meet only ¼th of the requirement of the existing fishing fleet makes a sad story and underlines the importance of developing fishery harbours facilities on a large scale.¹

• This will reduce the present congestion , conflict and competition among the fishermen in the near shore region.

Fishery harbours are closely related with the economic life of the individual fishermen, in particular and the fishery industry as a whole.

Construction of well-planned harbour are must to obtain good quality fish, better prices and more fishing hours due to quicker transportation of fish.

• PREFACE :

As a result of better landing facilities for the boats and hygienic handling of fish in the fish auction/packing halls, the quality of fish is preserved.

Better quality fish means better price that gives good financial returns and improves the socio-economic condition of the fisher folk.

• It is also undisputed fact that some of the existing fishery harbours are defunct with problems such as siltation, lack of harbour management, maintenance ,etc

The success of exploitation of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) to its optimum level will largely depend on further extending the fishing activities to deep sea region by creating more fishery harbour facilities and modernization of the existing fishing methods.

1.2 .1 History of fishery harbour …

Although new modern methods of fishing were introduced only at the beginning of the five years plans, traditional fishing is practiced in India from ancient times.

It is seen in the traditional customs and traditions of local fishermen of Gujarat state like “Bara pooja” meaning sea worshipping to pray for the safety of their lives and a rich fish harvesting, a festival held at the start of the fishing season .

• Compared to India, fishery industry in the developed countries is very much advanced and is fast improving in other developing countries too.

• FAO describes how a handful of countries held major share of world's total fish production. After china (15.3%), Peru(7%), Japan (15.3%), Chile (6.6%), USA and Russian federation (5.7%), India's total fish production as stood at 4.95 million tone representing around 5% of the world's total fish production of 101 million tone. ³

• HISTORY :

Earlier, many developing countries including India, did not have the right type of fishing vessels and gears, modern fishery harbours or better means of preservation and transportation of fish catches.

Fishing in the developed countries is, no more, considered a traditional occupation of a small group of fishermen as before, but viewed as a profitable profession by many private and corporate industrialists.

• It is learnt that the modern concept of a fishery harbours was first formed during mid 19th century in Scandinavian countries. ¹

• But India, only after her independence, that too, from third five- year plan onwards, could witness some real achievements in the field of exploration of fishery resources for commercial exploitation, fishery training and extension, fish preservation and processing, transportation, marketing and export. ²

1.2.2 Present condition in India …

• The fishery operations are still conducted from these fishery centers where, often, there are no proper road or railway communication to the neighbourhood

• No ice or cold storage facilities, no fresh water supply or electricity exist.The situation is much the same, even today.

Fishermen continue to catch fish mostly in near shore waters within radius of 5 -10 km

This traditional craft mainly consist of small boats.

• PRESENT

• They sell their catch to local fish vendors on open beaches or convert the fresh fish catch into salt-fish by drying it on the sandy beaches.

The quality is, thus, far below the desired standard.

Some of them may transport fish in ice boxes to their processing plants located in big towns/cities, but their number is not enough.

The absence of shelter and berthing has also forced the fishermen to restrict the fishing days.

A particular fishery centre may have abundant fishery resources, but, it will be of no use, if the fishermen are unable to exploit the available fish resources for want of landing boats.

There exist many such fishery centers where, even the minimum basic landing facilities like jetties/wharfs are not available.

Given figures shows the chaotic scene that usually prevails at such fishery centers.

1.3 Fishery development in Gujarat …

The natural fisheries resource potential of the state enriches its economy by generating employment for the rural mass.

Number of jobs in fisheries sector includes transportation and marketing of fish and fish products, fish pre-processing and processing industry, cold storage chain, boat building and repair, net mending, workshop and related activities.

• FISHERY IN

• The marine fishery sector in Gujarat has achieved significant progress from the year 1996-97 onwards due to the increase in the mechanization of traditional fishing craft, trawlers and use of improved fishing gear.

• This has increased the exportable varieties of marine fish such as shrimps, ribbon fish, prawns, etc

• This constituted 26% of the quantity and 10.6% of value of the total foreign exports of India. ³

• As compared to other states of India, Gujarat offers an excellent in the fishery sector because of the vast fishery resources .

• The state has a longest coast line of 1600 km representing 1/5th of the nation’s water front with a continental shelf area of 1,64,000 sq.Km and EEZ area of 2,14,060 sq. Km

• There are 217 landing centers in marine area.•The fisher population is 4.93 lakh, of which 1.72 lakh are actively engaged in fishing, marketing, etc. ¹

GUJARAT :5

Gujarat is the second largest fish producing state in the country only next to west Bengal.

Among all the maritime states, Gujarat accounts for a significant share insofar as marine fish production in the country is concerned and stands at the largest marine fish producer.

Junagadh is the major fish producing district accounting for 40% of the total fish production, Followed by Valsad, Kuchchh, Porbandar, Amreli and Jamnagar. ²

1.4.1 Introduction to the project…

• Gujarat state having 1600 km long coast line Arabian sea and is a leading state in fisheries development.

There are only four fishery harbour in state namely Veraval, Mangarol, Porbandar and Jakhau.

Fishery department, government of Gujarat likes to develop special facilities for marine products in Junagadh district as it is leading fish production district. ¹

6

• Fisheries play an important role in the economy of India in augmenting food supply, generating employment, raising nutritional levels and earning foreign exchange.

• In order to increase production and productivity in fisheries, the Fisheries Division of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India have been undertaking various production-oriented schemes, input supply programs, infrastructure development projects, etc., either directly or through States/Union Territories.

• INTRODUCTION :

1.4.2 Why it is needed … ?

At present fish which is transported to processing plants by road in unhygienic way and it also takes a lot of time.

Due to this fish get spoiled and contaminated which results a low value in the international market.

No proper workshops, shops, rest sheds, net mending sheds are provided.

• There is no provision of offices for fish merchants and private parties.

At present all these activities happens outdoor which is uncomfortable for the fishermen as well as the merchants and other users.

Some of the welfare amenities are needed such as guest house, canteens, restaurants, provisions shop, public toilets etc.

• WHY IT IS NEEDED ..?

7

1.4.3 Benefits, Aim and objectives …

To fulfill all the requirements of users at the harbour- fishermen, boat owners, customers and private parties from local, national and international markets.

• To make an architectural planning and design for the required facilities and need to be modernized to meet minimum international standards necessary for effective management and fish quality assurance.

By providing these facilities we can attract more private parties from other states and from the international markets.

AIM : OBJECTIVE :

• To understand the planning and working pattern of the existing harbour.

Study of different sizes and dimensions of equipments , gears, tools ,etc used in fishing operations.

Study of different activities and facilities at the harbour.

• Assumption of future population, and required capacity of the harbour according to the present condition at the harbour.

2.4.2 General information about the activities …

•POLE AND LINING:

•In this, a wooden pole is used to connect one end of the nylon mono-filament line joined to a lead coated iron hook.

•LONGLINING :

•A long line consist of a main line and many branch lines.

•PURSE SEINING :

•Fish shoals when surrounded by a purse seine, its purse strings are drawn to trap the fishes inside the net.•In this, not only the fish catch is more, but also the catch landed is in a better condition.

•OTHER GEAR TYPES:

•Scoop net, drag net, bag net, stake net, etc..•Lobster pot, crab pot.

•GILL NETTING :

•A gill net is a net wall whose lower end is held in vertical position in water column by weighted sinkers and the upper end is held at the water surface by floats.

•TRAWLING :

•The trawl gear is a bag shaped gear dragged through water with the help of a towing boat.•Its mouth is kept open by otter-boards and towed on seabed or at the desired water depth.

•TROLLING :

•Troll lines in small size fishing boats are operated 2 or 3 lines at a time using ribbon fish or other fish species as bait.

• FISHING GEAR OPERATIONS :20


•The fishing vessels at the berthing quays can be moored either ALONGSIDE or PERPENDICULAR to the quay.

•In calculating the ALONGSIDE berthing quay length, the fact that fishing vessel lie abreast in three to four rows has to be considered.

•If the fishing vessels are moored PERPENDICULARLY touching their bow to the face of the berthing quay, the n also, it can safely be assumed that three to four vessels can be moored in that fashion within the length of one vessel of the same size.

• FISH LANDING QUAYS :

•ALONGSIDE/MARGINAL GUAYS:

•The most common layout for is alongside.

•The quay is a continuous long wall to enable the vessel berth alongside.

•FINGER QUAYS:

•If there happens to be land restrictions due to placing the guay length in one single straight line, then finger quays can be laid.

•SAW-TOOTH QUAYS:

•These are well suited for the major fishery harbours catering to deep-sea vessel which are few in number and the frontage quay length available at site is very much limited

• BERTHING QUAYS :21


•FISH UNLOADING BY MECHANICAL CONVEYORS:

•Specially designed elevators combined with mechanical conveyors are well suited for the unloading operation of frozen/iced fish in boxes.

•UNLOADING BY FISH PUMPS:

•Fish pumps are extensively used to unload industrial fish for the fish processing plants in Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Mexico

•FISH UNLOADING BY MANUAL LABOUR:

•Manual handling of fish in basket or plastic boxes is common in man countries including India.

•FISH UNLOADING BY SCOOPING:

•Fish unloading by scoop is common in British Columbia and Alaska. In northern Europe, particularly in Scandinavian countries like Denmark, the purse seine boats use scoops for unloading.

•FISH UNLOADING BY CONTAINER:

•Fish unloading can be faster , if large boxes or containers are used instead of baskets, scoops or net bags.

• FISH UNLOADING:22

2.4.4 Programme …

• When it comes to siting of various infrastructure buildings in a fishery harbour, the modular planning approach will greatly help in ensuring that a particular set of fishery harbour activities related to each other can be performed within a designated module alone causing least hindrance to the activities taking place in other similar modules.

The prominent infrastructure buildings that need to be grouped in a fishery harbour can be identified under the following five modules:

3.1 Design guidelines…

• OUTFITTING MODULE Fuelling station, fuel storage, overhead water tank, underground water sumps, surface fresh water supply tanks, ice plants, ice storage etc.

REPAIR MODULE Sloping hard and other boat hauling systems, workshops, boat parking, boat repair, boat building yard, automobile, radio and instrumentation shops etc…

PUBLIC UTILITIES MODULE Restaurants, guest house, toilets, civic amenities like provision shops, health centre, bank, communication etc…

• FISH LANDING MODULE Fish auction and packing halls, fish loading areas, chilled storage, freezing plants, vehicle parking areas, vehicle service station, fish processing plants, fish drying/curing yards, fish industries, fishery administration office, fish auctioneers office, box stores, radio-communication station etc…

BERTHING MODULE Fishing gear storage sheds, net mending and drying areas, fishermen rest sheds, marine supplies stores, gear and tool sales shops etc…

• However, among the different modules, some modules like fish landing and outfitting would need access to ice plant facility from where ice need to be collected and supplied to both modules.

• The chilled store, freezing plants and fish processing plants would also heavily depend on ice plants for ice supply.

• It is, therefore, necessary that such facilities shared by two or more modules are put up at a place convenient to the sharing modules.

• The arrangements of these modules are shown…

• FLOW OF FISH :

The disposal of fresh fish at the landing quays, further involves transportation to places like fish auction hall and packing halls, fish processing industries, ancillary fish industries and to places of local, national and international fish markets.

Part of the fresh fish gets diverted to freezing plants, chilled storage and frozen storage.

However, trash fish will get diverted to industrial use like fish drying, production of fish meal, fish oil, fertilizer etc…

The flow of fish in a fishery harbour is shown in the flow chart given.

28


• FLOW OF BOATS :

The fishing boats arrives in a fishery harbour after their voyage.

First, they go over to landing quay to unload the fish catch.

After that, the boats move on to the berthing quay for the idle berthing till the next fishing trip or

To repair quay for undergoing minor repairs or hauled on to land for major repairs to boat hull, engine etc…

Before starting on a fishing trip, they take fuel, ice and fresh water from the outfitting quay and leave the harbour for their next fishing voyage.

29


• AUCTION HALL:

•The width of the fish auction hall can be greater in case of major fishery harbour , say 25 to 30 m, depending on the fish landing and other activities taking place in such a fish auction hall

• It is preferable to build the auction hall with adequate floor space, in two or more floors, so that the offices of management staff, fish agents etc., can be accommodated in the same building.

• To avoid the fresh fish being exposed to sun heat and to avoid long haulage of fish, the fish auction hall has to be, as far as possible, located close to the landing quay


• The structural design of the fish auction hall demands that the columns and internal walls should either be minimum or totally avoided, if necessary, by adopting shell-roof structure so as to guarantee smooth flow of fish, vehicular transport and movement of fishery industry people.

• The internal columns, if cannot be avoided, should be spaced as wide as possible (at least 10m c/c of columns) so that least interference is caused to the movement of fish boxes.

• The height of the building should be at least of 5 m height.

• The distance between the quay and the fish auction halls should, therefore, not be more than 10m.

• Similar to fish auction hall, the fish packing hall needs to be located immediately behind the landing quay so that they remain within the reach of the fishing boat derricks, fixed/ mobile cranes or the lifts for easy transfer of heavy fish containers.

• The clear height of the eaves/canopy from the quay top should be such that it permits safe movement of trolleys and some other small vehicles to have access to the boats.

On the rear side of side of the packing halls, fish loading areas and roadways would be required for the quick transportation of sold fish, in addition to providing adequate parking areas for the vehicles waiting for their turn at the fish loading areas.

The building should be oriented in such a way that the fish processing operations take place in shaded, dust free conditions.

Adequate windows and skylights should be provided to allow for natural light and ventilation within the building.

LANDSIDE FACILITIES :30

ICE PLANTS :

The ideal place for the ice plant in a fishery harbour will be at an equidistant place between the auction hall and the out fitting quay so that ice can be quickly supplied to both the auction halls , packing halls and fishing boats.

CHILLED STORAGE :

They are the insulated stores mechanically cooled to the heat losses, the fishes having been brought down to the desired temperature by icing. The chilled storage space requirement for each tone of fish on, an average, can be around 10 to 15 sq.mt


• NET MENDING SHEDS :

• After every fishing trip, the fishing nets will be wet and damaged to some extent. Therefore net mending sheds are desirable landside facility.

• The net mending sheds should be provided with the net drying yard in the form of enough open space on either sides of the sheds to enable the fishermen to spread their wet nets for drying out .

• It should be 5 to10m wide, open on all four sides and its length appropriate to the needs of the fishermen.

• It should be placed on east-west direction.

• FISHING GEAR STORAGE SHEDS :

• Fishing vessel operators require sheds for storing their fishing gear and tools such as nets, baskets, sinkers, buoys, anchors, chains, ropes etc.. during the rest period.

•They should be located close to the berthing quay so that the fishermen need not have to carry them a long distance.
