Course Name : Fishing Gear Technology

Code(Credit) : FSFE3203(1-1-0)

Course Objectives

1. To study about the history and development of fishing and fishing gears of India and the world.
2. To study the factors that determines selection of fishing methods and gears used in relation to fish and fishing area.
3. To study different nets.

Course Outcomes

CO-1: It gives the idea of how the fishing gear has been developed from the ancient time, different types of natural and synthetic materials used for production of fishing gear and gear classifications: PO1

CO-2: Students will learn about preparation of different nets based on target species: PO1

CO-3: Students will learn different accessories required for fishing gear: PO3

 

PO 1: Knowledge enhancement: Enhanced knowledge on concepts, essential facts, basics, principles and theories relating to fishery biology, biodiversity and aquatic environment, aquaculture, fish nutrition, fish physiology, genetics and biotechnology, fish processing, fisheries engineering, fish microbiology, fishery extension, economics, and biostatistics.

PO 3: Critical thinking: After identifying the assumptions from the subject, take informed actions to frame the thinking and check out the degree to
which these assumptions are accurate and valid, and look at our ideas and decisions (intellectual, organizational, and personal) from different perspectives.
