This study on techno- economic study of the local and migratory fishermen in the Cochin backwaters was conducted from June 2016 to May 2017. The estimates of the mean monthly CPUE for local and migratory fisherman were 11.55kg and 24.61kg respectively. The catch and resultant income were more than double in the case of migratory fishermen compared to the local fishermen.The net profit ratio and the ROI showed that profitability is very high in the case of migratory fishermen. The amount of investment in fixed aspects was very less in this case, compared to the local fishermen. The payback period was 5.4 months in the case of local fishermen whereas it was only 1.8 months in migratory fishermen. It leads to high consumption of fuel energy in the case of the local fishermen which ultimately affect the livelihood of the local fishermen. It indicates that further better development in design, netting materials, operation aspects and conservation measures are to be implemented for maintaining the stock fishery resources in Cochin back waters.
