Abstract

One way to look at fishing technology is as an academic field that explains different methods. The development of more efficient fishing gear and vessels has allowed for the capture of larger fish stocks with less effort and energy. This article looks at the effects of recent technical developments on the fishing industry, particularly as they pertain to the fishermen of Kerala. The social interactions entrenched in fish feeding systems are an important but understudied part of these changes. Women and other marginalized groups are often left out in the cold when food system revolutions alter power dynamics and reshape gendered economic roles and divisions of labour.
