Impact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008

Subject Demersal Fisheries
 
Description The neritic waters along the continental shelf of the Indian EEZ is endowed with a rich abode of
demersal finfish resources contributing to about 27.5 % of the total marine landings of the country. The
demersal finfishes represented by a total of 23 groups and 71 commercially important species by virtue of
their multifarious uses contribute substantially both as a protein supplement and to the revenue generation
of the nation. Besides, the island ecosystems of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar have rich potential
of marine ornamental fish resources, which by their aesthetic value are very much in demand for aqariculture
both in India and abroad. Nevertheless, these invaluable fishery resources are subjected to wider fluctuations
and/or depletion because of the adversities caused both by fishery related and non-fishery related factors.
The prospects and problems of demersal finfish fishery in India are examined here with possible managerial
measures so as to sustain the fishery.
