Abstract

India is the third-largest globally in terms of total fish production and ranks sixth in the world for marine capture fisheries production, with a contribution of 4.7% in 2020 (FAO, 2022). The marine fisheries sector contributes significantly to the food and nutritional requirements of the people and provide livelihood to a segment of the population rooted in tradition and skill. Fisheries sector play a significant role in the Indian economy. It supports the livelihood of nearly 3.8 million coastal population by providing income and employment (Sathianandan et al., 2021) and earns an annual foreign exchange worth US$8.1 billion through marine exports (MPEDA, 2023). One of the main responsibilities of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICARCMFRI) is to assess and monitor India's exploited marine fish resources for deriving management measures to keep the harvest of the resources at sustainable levels.
