Creator CMFRI, FRAD
 
Subject CMFRI Census Report
Marine Fisheries
 
Description For an informed management regime to ensure sustainability of the marine
fisheries, it is essential not only to have reliable information on the status of marine
fish resources along with fishing effort expended but also the number of fishing
villages, landing centres, fisherfolk population, their occupation status, fishing crafts,
fishing gears and other related parameters. With this objective, the Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Cochin has been conducting frame surveys at
periodic intervals. Marine fisheries census on an all India basis was last conducted
by CMFRI during May – July, 1980. Since the last census, the marine fisheries in
India have witnessed both qualitative and quantitative changes. Post 1980 was also
been a period where a number of management/policy interventions were made by
the Government of India and the maritime states for ensuring sustainability,
conservation of resources and to protect the interests of artisanal fishermen. Surely,
the policies and interventions need to be reviewed and fine tuned in view of the
highly dynamic nature of marine fisheries. For this a strong realtime and reliable
database on various aspects of marine fisheries is essential.
