Abstract

India’s marine fisheries produced 1.32 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce one kilogram of fish in 2016, lower than the global average of 2 tonnes, according to the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). This estimate covers emissions during the entire chain of operations of marine fisheries — from the construction of boats to retail. The findings were discussed at a review meeting of the fisheries component of the National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), a research project launched in 2011.
