Abstract

Fisheries and aquaculture play a pivotal role in India’s economy and contributes significantly to the food and nutrition security of the fish-eating population in the country. The sector has recorded an average annual growth rate of 8-10% over the past two decades. The continued vibrancy observed in the fisheries and aquaculture sectors in the country is largely due to the elaborate network of institutions and governance mechanisms that have been developed over years since independence (1947). Both formal and informal networks adorn the fisheries administrative, governance and management regime in India, with their formats diverse in terms of affiliation, ownerships, organizational framework, activity spheres, mode of operation, and so on. This country status paper summarizes the broad architecture of the above network and demonstrates how cross learning among the SAARC member countries could address the regional and sub-regional challenges therein.
