Description lndia is one of the few countries in the
world where the traditional small-scale fisheries
co-exists with the modern fishing industry and
retains a dominant place in terms of production
For a major fishing nation which occupies the
seventh rank among the fish-producing countries
of the world this fact is very significant. lndia
has gone through the process of planned deve-
lopment over the last 30 years. Modernisation
of the fishing industry was taken up from the
fifties with the hope that it would be possible in
course of time, to change the face of the fishing
occupation from its artisanal nature to one of
modern industry. However, experience has
shown that it is neither possible to replace the
traditional crafts, nor would it be possible to
increase production without the help of the
traditional sector. The process of
took a skewed turn and, instead of assisting the
fishermen to acquire, own and operate these
boats, it assisted a large number of non-fisher-
men to make riches and a very small percentage
of actual fishermen. Thus the common fisherman
stands at the same spot where he stood three
decades ago, witnessing the changes taking
place around him, prosperity acquired by others
and the process of planned development
becoming a mere mirage as far as he is
concerned.
