One of the first local fishers to invest in a trawl vessel, India, Kerala, early 1960s (Klausen, Arne Martin, 1968) 

The trawl vessels introduced by the Indo-Norwegian project were small, and fishers were not yet accustomed to the technology, but they were lucky: the fishing grounds of Kerala (previously Travancore) contained very rich shrimp fishing grounds, and the export market for shrimp was opening. This photograph displays one of the first local fishers to invest in a trawl vessel. The photographer emphasises his entrepreneurial spirit.
