Description It is well recognized that for an informed fishery management regime,
information on catch and fishing effort is an important prerequisite. This,
together with data on biological characteristics of the exploited populations,
would enable a proper assessment of the exploited stocks. With this in
view, CMFRI, has been monitoring the coastal marine fishery resources of
the Indian EEZ since its inception.
The Institute has built up a large database on marine fisheries including
data on catch, fishing effort and other biological parameters. The data are
collected on a regular basis based on a scientifically designed sampling scheme,
namely, the Stratified Multi-stage Random Sampling Design. A preliminary
survey was undertaken by CMFRI to collect data on number of marine fishing
villages, landing centers, fishing craft and gears to prepare a frame and in
1948 an attempt was made to collect marine fish catch statistics in a planned
way. Similar surveys with varying details were carried out in subsequent years
along Travancore-Cochin coast, Madras coast, Andhra coast, Canara coast
and Bombay coast of yester years. On the basis of the vast experience and the
studies made by the ICAR scientists in the initial stages, CMFRI has developed
a multi stage sampling design. In this stratified multi-stage random
sampling design, the stratification is over space and time, a two dimensional
one. The details of the scheme and the methodology for estimation of landings
are given in Srinath et.al. (2005). The Institute besides publishing estimates
of marine fish landings from time to time in various issues of MFIS has
also brought out a comprehensive appraisal of the status of the exploited marine
fishery resources (Mohan Joseph and Jayaprakash, 2003). Recognizing
the need for updating the information for the benefit of research workers,
administrators and other stake holders, resource-wise estimates of marine fish
landings in each maritime state (excluding Island territories) for each quarter
from 1985 to 2004 are provided in this publication.
