Description Gujarat is one of the most important
maritime states of the country having
the longest coast line of about 1,640 km
and a very broad continental shelf. The
state has been bestowed with highly
productive and diversifi ed ecosystems
and considered as one of the leading
marine fi sh producing states of India,
with fi sheries providing livelihoods for
more than 400,000 people directly and
indirectly. However, over the last few
years the marine fi sh production of the
state has been relatively static at around
half a million tonnes and has been
showing signs of being fully exploited.
However, as the state has a wide
continental self it also has significant
potential for mariculture. Owing to the
economic importance and availability
of seeds of spiny lobster, an open sea
cage culture demonstration of Panulirus
polyphagus was carried out involving
Sidi tribes as a major stakeholder.
