Description Puducherry Union Territory has 45 km of coast
which extends from Kanagachettykulam in the north
to Murthykuppam in the south and contributes around
5% to the total marine fish catch of the country. The
average annual catch was 15,492 t during 2005 –
2009. One of the most significant development in
the marine fisheries sector observed in recent years
is the large scale introduction of ringseine boats for
commercial exploitation of pelagic fish resources,
which is also observed along the coast off
Puducherry.
