India is endowed with a continental shelf of 0.5 million km2 and an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of about 2 million km2. Almost half (39%) of the Indian population utilizes the marine fisheries resources. India ranked sixth worldwide in total fish production (4.95 million t) and second in inland fish production (2.24 million t) during 1995-96. Fish production expanded from 0.75 million tin 1950-51 to 4.95 million t in 1995-96, giving a significant increase at a cumulative growth rate of 4.2% per annum. Marine fish production increased from 0.53 million tin 1950-51 to 2.71 million t in 1995-96. The contribution of the fisheries sector to the total gross domestic product (GDP) improved from 0.75% in 1980-81 to 1.28% in 1994-95, with marine fisheries providing employment opportunities both in the production and post-harvest sectors. Subsidiary employment in fishing includes boat building and repair, net mending, repair of engines and supply of diesel, kerosene and other essential items. Women are mostly engaged in post-harvest operations like net mending, fish processing, packing and selling of fish and fish products Not Available |
