For the last three decades our developmen
tal efforts in marine fisheries have been towards
increasing production in the capture fisheries,
rightly so in view of the vast resources in the
coastal waters and the continental shelf which
remained to be exploited and the base for
development was available in the form of the
traditional fisheries. Therefore, our research
efforts were also aimed in that direction. The
Seventies has been a significant decade in the
sense that, on a global basis, there has been a
shift from the thinking that capture fisheries
could be depended upon for a steady increase in
production to the realisation that aquaculture
has immense potential for development after
witnessing the stagnation of world fish produc
tion around 69 million tonnes over a period of
three or four years. In India, too, we are passing
through a stage of such stagnation in the marine
capture fisheries with a production of around
1.3 million tonnes during the last three years.
Although the Exclusive Economic Zone has good
prospects for increasing production the efforts
would be concentrated at a few centres in
view of the sophisticated technology and high
capital costs involved.
