Fish landing
 
Description Fisheries sector plays a key role in Indian economy. The sector supports livelihood, nutritional
security, and subsistence to large number of people as well as foreign exchange earnings.
India’s coast line stretches about 8129 km. There are 1355 landing centres scattered along
the coastline of the main land as per the records from National Marine Fisheries Data Centre
at Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). Marine fish landings take place
almost all along the coast line throughout the day and sometimes during night. Under
these circumstances, collection of statistics by complete enumeration would involve a very
large number of enumerators and a huge amount of money apart from the time involved
in collection of data. Therefore, a possible solution for quantifying marine fish landings is
adoption of a suitable sampling technique. As, monitoring and assessment of the exploited
marine fishery resources of India is one of the important mandates of the CMFRI, institute
made attempts to evolve the scientific methods for collection of data on catch and effort,
since its inception in 1947. Pilot surveys were conducted along the coastline of India and
different sampling designs were tested.
