Description During the last two decades the marine fisheries sector in India has undergone considerable change. The
fishing fleet became larger and more energy-intensive, and the catch and trade of marine fishes increased
substantially. Concern arising from the increasing fishing effort and the potential for overexploitation in Indian
waters, led to scientific assessment of the status of several fish stocks. Consequently, attempts were made to
shift from open to regulated access fisheries through Marine Fishing Regulation Acts (MFRAs). However, conflicts
in sharing the limited resources intensified within and with other sectors and this, in turn, had high economic,
social and environmental costs (Vision 2050, CMFRI). Thus, in recent years, the sector recognized the need for
effective management for sustainable fisheries and a healthy marine environment through ecosystem approach
and habitat restoration. Success has been achieved in mariculture, raising hopes of producing a plentiful supply
of fish in future by farming marine fish
