Description India possesses a long coastline of 7,517 kin bordering the Arabian Sea,
Bay of Bengal and the oceanic islands of Lakshadweep and Andaman Nicobar.
The continental shelf area between 0 and 200 m depth is estimated at about
0.5 million km2 and the total area of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), as 2.02
million km2
. The fishery resources in these seas are rich, diverse and typical of
tropical waters. The marine fishing activities prior to independence were,
however, only at a subsistence level with a low quantum of production.
Concerted efforts for the development of the marine fisheries of the country were
initiated after the country became independent in 1947. Through the various
programmes relating to ..introduction of mechanised fishing vessels,
improvement of fiShing~lements, establishment of infrastructural facilities
for preservation, processing, storage, transportation and for landing and
berthing of crafts, and the development of an export trade - implemented during
different national schemes, the marine fisheries of the country expanded
rapidly, playing a major role in supplying protein food, earning foreign exchange
and promoting coastal rural development. The marine fish production of the
country consequent upon these developmental programmes, increased gradually
from 0.534 million tonnes in 1951 to the present yield level of2.3 million tonnes,
contributing to over 1.5% of the total income from agricultural sector and
earning Rs. 1767 crores from the export trade of fish and fishery products.
