Title Planning for fishery development – search for appropriate policy instruments

Subject Marine Fisheries
 
Description The Indian fisheries economy for the last several years has been characterised by sluggish growth
rates in production (3.5%), inadequate marketing infrastructure, demand and supply imbalances, intersectoral
conflicts insignificant contribution of deep sea fishing (1%), Lack of diversification in export
trade and apathetic entrepreneurship in offshore fishing. Further, gains from extension of Exclusive
Economic Zone (EtZ) are likely to elude us for want of well-identified technological options along with
production incentives for the exploitation of living resources of EEZ.
Unlike marine fisheries. Inland fisheries have registered a higher growth rate of production. Despite
imperfections of marketing system, land-based culture fisheries have been favourably pieced. Fish
Farmers Development Agencies (FFOA) have brought 1,50 000 ha under scientific fish farming. Reservoirs
(3 million hs) afford opportunities for enhancing inland fish production for augmentation of
domestic availabilities.
The present paper purports to examine some of these areas so as to have a sound basis for the
task of policy formulation for both marine and inland fisheries
