Title Teaching not to F(in)ish? - Responsible Fisheries Series No. 6
 
Creator Ramachandran, C
 
Subject Responsible Fisheries Series
 
Description Nations having access to oceans are blessed with the wealth of many added
resources. Fisheries form one among the renewable, but not inexhaustible
marine resources. Majority of fisher folk in India, who depends on these
resources for their livelihood over generations could not still get the benefits
of rapid technological advancements and economic development. The
operational efficiency of complex and diverse capture fishing strategies led
to implicit conflict in resource use among stakeholders of different sectors.
Mounting competition and continuous technological up-gradation in open access multi -
gear, multi- species marine fisheries paved the way for increase in gross production with
reduction in catch rates and per capita earnings. Excess capacity of fishing fleets due to
overcapitalization has not only led to disguised unemployment and diminishing returns
but also threatens the extinction of certain distinctly precious resources beyond the sustainable
level. The marginalisation further widens economic disparity and coastal distress warranting
massive extension efforts in capacity building and empowerment of stakeholders for
sustainable production and equitable distribution.
