Title Exploited and potential capture fishery resources in the inshore waters of India
 
Creator James, P S B R
 
Subject Fisheries Survey
 
Description India has a coastline of about 6100 km with
nearly 2000 fishing villages along the coast.
The marine fish caught from the inshore waters
by indigenous as well as mechanised vessels are
landed during almost all hours of the day and
often at night round the year at about 1 400 fish
landing centres. About one million active fish
ermen use indigenous crafts and gears in the
traditional fisheries. This sector contributes to
about 65 per cent of the total marine fish
production of the country. The pelagic as well
as mid-water fish catches are almost entirely
landed by the traditional fishery.
