Abstract

Indian marine fisheries have been witnessing added focus in recent times due to multitude of factors. The most important among them is the evidence or data-based management of the marine fishery resource production in a reassuringly sustainable manner that takes care of both the resource health and fishers’ welfare simultaneously. ICAR-CMFRI has been a yeoman contributor towards this end for more than seven decades now, with its critically acclaimed and scientifically robust survey based unbiased assessment of landings and corresponding effort. The methodology has been evolving over time and has taken digital wings to soar newer heights in recent times. With the option of replicability under certain reasonable conditions, this has been one of the much deliberated, demystified and documented one from the stables of the Institute. This document, which is the latest and the most comprehensive from the practical point of view, is intended as a guide to help and support the work of survey staff, involved in the sustainable management of marine fisheries. Mainly focusing on the detailed description and practical explanation, this manual serves as an essential resource, offering clear guidance for the collection of marine fishery data.
