Abstract

The rise in temperature across the state stands as an obstacle for fishermen to eke out a proper living. The rate of fish landings have considerably dropped, said scientists with the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Vizhinjam, based on a study conducted. Fish landing refers to the number of fish that are found and caught from the sea. Although December to March is considered to be a lean time period for fish landings, the decrease is notable. Surplus fish usually found in the sea in close proximity to the land have reduced, heat playing the pivotal factor.
