Abstract

There have been significant developments in the exploitation of the marine fishery resources of India since early 1970s. These, on the west coast of India, include introduction of purse seine fishing, extension of fishing during monsoon months, multiple days fishing by the mechanised vessels, motorisation of country crafts and introduction of ring seines and similar other efficient gears. While these inputs have contributed to enhance the marine fish production, they have also brought forth a number of resource-related and socioeconomic problems necessitating serious management considerations.
