Data base development and computer applications in fisheries

Abstract

Intensity of economic activity either in the established sector or emerging sector depends on the level of database of the sector. In the liberalised frame of Indian economy, established sectors such as agriculture have received a big boost resulting in higher production and larger earnings. Database for such sector is strong, built over years. However, there are emerging sectors which are highly productive and money spinning. Fisheries is one such sector having global perspectives. Database for this sector though available now in a limited dimension, is to be enlarged and strengthened for the benefit of entrepreneurs, industry, public enterprises, planners and administrators.
