Abstract

Marine fisheries research programmes did undergo gradual changes during the last four decades, ever since the establishment of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute. The ship board research and data support provided by the Fishery Survey of India, Integrated Fisheries Project and the National Institute of Oceanography has also been too significant to be left aside. The changes that took place can be grouped under two categories. The first was a gradual shift from ichthyological studies to one of quantitative fishery resource research although the former was necessary for a meaningful approach for the latter. The second was to broad base the investigations from near shore areas to the off-shore and oceanic zones and to connect the two wherever necessary to get a full picture of the nature and extent of availabiility of the living resources in time and space.
