Subject Fish and Fisheries
 
Description India being a tropical country is blessed with highly diverse nature of marine fishery
resources in its 2.02 million square kilometer Exclusive Economic Zone with an estimated
annual harvestable potential of 4.414 million metric tonnes. The marine fisheries sector
provide livelihood to nearly 4.0 million people of India and meets the food and nutritional
requirements of a significant proportion of the population. Also, it contributes to export
earnings of the country. Sustainable harvest of the marine fishery resources are necessary
as over exploitation of the resources is likely to harm the diversity and cause reduction in
the availability of some of the resources. Monitoring of the harvest of the diverse marine
fishery resources of the country is being carried out regularly by CMFRI since its inception
through a scientific data collection and estimation system from all along the Indian coast
leading to fish stock assessment for deriving management measures to keep the harvest
of the resources at sustainable levels.
