Description Marine fisheries in India are typically multi-species, multi-gear
with open access. Under the Marine Fisheries Regulation Act(s)
of the various maritime states, certain legislations with aim of
protecting the fish stocks and also provide sustainable yield
are in place. Among these, the Seasonal Fishing Ban (SFB)
is one implemented consistently across all maritime states
for more than two to three decades since its inception in
Kerala in 1988. The lead article highlights various intricacies
of data collection and analysis required for basing a SFB.
Another important communication is on seaweeds which
are rich and renewable source of food and high value biomolecules
and chemicals. Products like agar, alginates and
carrageenan have much demand in the food and bio-medical
industries. Scientific seaweed farming is required to build up
seaweed based industries in India which has the potential
to generate employment and valuable export opportunities.
Also their capacity for carbon sequestration and reducing
coastal pollution are positive factors to promote seaweed
farming in the country. The articles presented in this issue
of MFIS deal with these topics in detail.
