Abstract

Kerala, located in thesouthern part of the peninsular india has a narrow stretch of land with a surf -beaten coast on th western side.With its 590 km long coast line, it enjoys one of the worlds most productive seas boardening it and produce an average of about 24% of India’s annual marine fish landings.The fishing industry in Kerala in recent time has become a complex phnomenon with many conflicting intrests. Indiscriminate exploitation would be deliteriousfor a healthy stock. Stock conservation measures like restricting quota for different sectors and reduction in the mesh size of nets to avoid over exploitation of juveniles have to be implemented.
