An experiment to trace the best
fishing ground for artisanal trap fishery was conducted by placing a conical
fish trap was placed fortnightly at five different habitats for one year.
Categories of habitats ranging from mangrove, nypa palm, shallow waters, muddy
bottom habitat, deep water with sandy bottom, and hyacinth have been chosen for
this purpose. 809 fishes weighing 11.88 kg were caught and Mangrove habitat was
significant in terms of yields.
