Abstract

India stands at seventh position with regard to marine fish production in the world. The sector supports nearly 3.79 million fisher population, meets nutritional requirements of a significant portion of its population, gives export earnings to the tune of 30,000 crore rupees and provide employment to about one million fishers. Very high diversity of the marine fish resources in the Indian waters is a blessing to absorb the fishing pressure being exerted. The coast line of main land is composed of 9 maritime states and two union territories. Sustained marine fish production from the sea can be ensured only if harvest is made judicially through management and control. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is mandated to monitor the marine fishery resources by estimating the quantity of marine fish harvested and derive management measures to keep the harvest at sustainable level for each of the commercially important marine fishery resources. The resource wise estimates of landings of marine fish are made through a scientific data collection system developed by CMFRI and being used every year.
