Abstract

In a landmark research in assessing the carbon footprint in India’s marine fisheries, the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has estimated that the sector emits 1.32 tonne of CO2 (carbon dioxide) to produce one tonne of fish, much lower than the global figure of more than 2t of carbon emission per tonne of fish. This is the assessment of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from total activities in the sector, from pre-harvesting to marketing, by converting it into CO2 equivalent. The data was presented at a review meeting of the fisheries component of the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) Network Research Project of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR).
