Description The state of West Bengal lies between
longitudes 85°50' N and 89°50'E and latitudes 21°38'
E and 27°10'N, spreading into 19 districts in an area
of 88,752 sq km. The State has a coastline of 150 km
along its three coastal districts namely South Purba
Midnapur, South 24 Parganas and North 24
Parganas. The continental shelf upto 200 m depth
covers an area of 20,000 sq km (3.6% of the total
area of the Indian continental shelf). The continental
shelf of West Bengal is wide (about 150 km) and
shallow. The bottom is muddy and its configuration
is affected by the large river systems and tidal
currents. As fish is an important
part of diet of the population by
tradition, demand for fish is very
high in this state.
