The fish that our nets catch are those that swim close to the shoreline, ours is a more passive form…the rest go hunting. They also use a lot of nylon [thangus: Tamil]. Once the fish bites the hook, it gets wounded and bleeds, so when it is fished out it needs to be iced immediately. The smaller fish that we catch are brought to the shore alive, unharmed. Karaivalai [beach-seining] also employs and feeds more people…we support 24 crewmembers as opposed to four people who live off the earnings of one boat. (Nathan, a migrant beach-seine padu operator from Udappu3)
