Abstract

The recent study on 135 marine fish stocks conducted as the collective effort on fish stock assesment by several Working Groups in ICAr-CMFRI has some interesting points. It indicated that several fish stocks supporting the marine fisheries of India are healthy, but a few show signs of overfishing also. It emphasizes the need for responsible fishing practices alongwith effective fisheries management plans and their implementation. To benefit small scale fishers under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) scheme, the task of generating awareness on Artificial Reefs and extending guidance and technical support to set up these in at least 3477 coastal villages in various maritime states is being done effectively and time-bound manner. Activities in alignment with the country's global commitments to healthy marine ecosystems and marine biodiversity conservation were done effectively during the quarter. May these activities gain further momenum and contribute to well-being of the marine fisheries sector.
