Description Indian fisheries and aquaculture is an important sector of agriculture, providing
employment, food and nutritional security particularly to the rural poor and better access to
protein rich food for all. Globally, the capture fisheries and aquaculture produced 154 million
tonnes of fish in 2011 with a per capita food fish supply of 18.8 kg. During the year, India
contributed 5.33 per cent of the world total fish production (4.57 per cent of the total capture
fish production and 6.63 per cent in aquaculture production). India ranked second after China
in the world aquaculture production. Though India is one of the largest consumers of the fish
in the world, per capita consumption of fish, at 4.78 kg/head/year, is one of the lowest in the
world.
