Description Marine Fisheries and mariculture sectors occupy a very
important position in India's economy. The country is blessed with
a long coast line of 8129 km., a vast exclusive economic zone (2.02
sq.km.), a potential yield of 3.9 million tonnes per year and an
impressive infrastructure for harvest and postharvest operations.
The annual marine fish landings have reached 2.41 million tonnes
in 1996 valued at about Rs 7,230 crores against a fixed and operating
cost of Rs 4,528 crores. The exports of marine fishery products
reached 378,199 t valued at Rs 4,121 crores in 1996-97. Organised
research in marine fisheries and mariculture started in 1947 with
the establishment of the CMFRI. During this fifty-year period, a
large database on marine capture fishery statistics, biology of
exploited stocks, fishery environmental characteristics and
economics has been built up. The database thus developed has been
forming the basis for various marine fisheries development activities
in the country
