Description The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated the
total marine wild fish catch in the world at 79.3 million t in
2016, of which, nearly 35% entered the international trade
either for food or non-food (fish oil, fish meal etc) uses. All
fishery resources are dynamic and have an underlying spatial
component, reflected in their distribution and abundance
patterns in the marine ecosystem. The spatial analysis approach
enables fish biomass to be disaggregated by region or lifehistory
stages and incorporating this information in fish stock
assessment models allows better management actions to
regulate fishing mortality and design appropriate conservation
activities. In India, area specific fishery management plans are
mooted under the newly proposed National Marine Fisheries
Policy (NMFP, 2017). ICAR-CMFRI which has been estimating
the maritime state based fish catch and effort trends since
1950 has moved to a data collection and reporting system
using electronic tablets which enabled spatial data reporting
with passive geo-referencing since 2018. How effectively this
spatial information can be tapped to surpass the existing
fish stock assessment models will have to be evaluated with
case studies in the Indian marine fisheries sector. Regarding
boosting of marine fish production through mariculture,
the emphasis is on good husbandry practices during the
broodstock development and the larval rearing phase with
protocols developed for each species of interest. Hence,
research communications on various aspects of marine capture
fisheries and mariculture are presented in this issue of MFIS.
