Abstract
Fishes are mentioned in the ancient literature of India, the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, and excavations from Harappa and Mohenjo-daro indicate that fishing with hooks and nets was common as long ago as 3000 BC. During the reign of Emperor Asoka (273-232 BC), fish conservation was ensured through strictly enforced laws. This paper places fishing in historical perspective, tracing its evolution from the capture of individual fish to its present status as a large-scale commercial enterprise.
