Abstract

Experts from the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) highlighted that jellyfish fisheries have the potential to offer a significant source of income for fishermen and contribute to the national economy in India. Dr. A Gopalakrishnan, Director of CMFRI, emphasized the need for sustainable management practices, quality control, market acceptance, and adaptation of jellyfish to fishing and environmental changes for the long-term viability of this industry. With India registering a landing of 11,756 tons of jellyfish in 2021, the fishery has re-emerged as a well-networked enterprise since 2005. He was speaking at a special session on 'Jellyfish Fisheries and Trade: Status, Trends, and Impacts on Livelihood' at the Symposium on Jellyfish Blooms in Kovalam.
