Creator Sivakami, S
 
Subject Demersal Fisheries
 
Description The continental shelf of Indian EEZ extending upto 200 m depth is a rich abode of a
variety of demersal finfish resources contributing substantially to the total marine fish
production in the country. The major demersal fin fish resources are the elasmobranchs,
major perches, catfishes, threadfin breams, silverbellies, sciaenids, lizardfishes, pomfrets
,bulls eye, flatfishes, goatfish and white fish. A review of the literature shows that the
demersal fisheries in India had been growing in a phased manner during the past 5 decades
thanks to the development envisaged through different 5 year plans since the country`s
attaining independence. On the flip side we have several issues adversely affecting the
increase in production of the resources such as growth overfishing, recruitment
overfishing,increased operation of units through multiday fishing, scraping the benthic
biota etc.In this chapter, an attempt is made to examine the present status and future needs
of the demersal fisheries sector of India.
