Title The Indian fisheries sector at the threshold of
sixty momentous years of independence -
in retrospect and prospect
 
Creator James, P S B R
 
Subject Marine Fisheries
 
Description The Indian fisheries sector contributes to the nutritional security, income,
employment, foreign exchange earnings and livelihood opportunities. Over
the years, the sector evolved from a modest, traditional and sustenance level
to a sophisticated and modern industrial enterprise, thanks to government
initiatives and policies, several innovations made by the scientific community,
support by the private industry and companies, fishermen, farmers, NGOs
and self help groups. The country now occupies the third position in total
world production and the second place in inland fish production. The
resources, in terms of water bodies, species, infrastructure and technical
manpower are enormous and have been harnessed to great extent. However,
many inadequacies have been felt in many areas which need to be addressed,
if the sector has to progress.
