Sustainable Development Of Fisheries In India Is A Major Concern For The Public, The Industry As Well As The Administration As It Contributes Signigicantly To The National Economy : To Food Supply, Employment, Earnings, Foreign Exchange, Public Revenue, Regional Development, Recreation, Social Welfare Etc. Nonetheless, The Sustainability Of Indian Fisheries, Like Most Other Nations' Fisheries, Is Threatened By A Number Of Ecological, Economic, Social, Cultural, Institutional And Technological Constraints. This Book Explores The Sustainability Issues Of Indian Fisheries At Length And Suggests 'Stanard' Global Prescriptions For Sustainable Development.
Fisheries play an important role in the economy of nations bordering the sea and this is especially true in a populous country like India where a large majority continues to live below the poverty line. Sea fishing has been an occupation with the coastal people of India since time immemorial forming an integral part of the maritime heritage. Machanisation has been introduced into the marine fishing with a view to exploit the fisheries potential all along the Indian coastline of 6,500 km by overcoming the deficiencies of the centuries old traditional fishing technology and to augment fish production with a higher fishing effort and also to raise the income levels and living standards of fishermen. The present book, based on the author’s doctoral dissertation, made a bold and pioneering attempt to evaluate the costs and earnings of mechanised and traditional boats for determining their relative operational efficiency and to examine intensively the effects of mechanisation on employment, income levels, consumption pattern and levels of living of fishermen and their social implications. While analysing the merits of the new fishing technology and also the reactions of different groups of fishermen to mechanisation, he spotlights the shortsightedness in the implementation of the programme of mechanisation resulting in a host of negative effects which have implications and also sets forth the valuable lessons which Indian experiences have to offer to the densely populated littoral nations in the Third World. To ensure enduring benefits to the vast majority of marine fishermen, the thesis underscores, among numerous other remedies the need for the provision of an intermediary technology, the need for the institutional support and marketing network and the need for the management of fisheries resources. It also calls for the policies to bring about socio-economic development of the fishing community on par with the rest of the society. All in all, a genuine contribution to knowledge of `grassroots' situations that will have enduring value and that can be useful in both academic and policy-formation circles.
Recreational Fisheries Development in India- A Study of Economics and Management with Special Reference to Kerala is a pioneering attempt to study the potential and to present the strategy for the development of recreational fisheries in Kerala. It unfolds its contents in ten chapters: the first chapter spelling out the background and objectives of writing this book, the second presenting a review of the literature relating to recreational fisheries development, world wide, the third dealing with the economic problem of valuation of recreational fisheries, the fourth outlining the status of recreational fisheries in leading fishing nations, including India, the fifth focussing on the recreational fishery resources of Kerala, the sixth probing into the demand for recreational fishing in Kerala, the seventh dealing with the supply prospects for recreational fishery services in Kerala, the eighth touching upon the (economic and social) viability of recreational fisheries development in Kerala, the ninth elaborating the management strategy to be followed for its development and the last chapter giving the summary of findings and conclusions of the study. The book in its core argue for the development of recreational fisheries in Kerala and prescribes management measures for realising this goal. It holds that development of recreational fisheries can contribute to the regional economy of the state through its linkage with tourism development and also help in the preservation of the ecology and culture of the landscape adjoining the rivers, reservoirs and backwaters of Kerala. The book is rich in its material coverage and bibliographic content. Being the first of its kind in India and probably at the international level as well, it should be of much interest to tourism planners, academics and others interested in the subject. Contents Chapter 1: Introduction; Chapter 2: Review of Literature; Chapter 3: Valuation of Recreational Fisheries; Chapter 4: Status of Recreational Fisheries- A Country Profile; Chapter 5: Recreational Fishery Resources of Kerala; Chapter 6: Demand for Recreational Fishery Service in Kerala; Chapter 7: Supply of Recreational Fishery Service in Kerala; Chapter 8: Economics of Recreational Fisheries Development in Kerala; Chapter 9: Management of Recreational Fisheries Development in Kerala; Chapter 10: Summary of Findings and Conclusions.

This book provides comprehensive information on several dimensions of blue revolution in a structured form. Material provided in the book has been gathered from several relevant published sources and views expressed are based on practical field experience of the authors. Blue revolution would be one of the big game changers for the Indian economy. The subject of sustainable development of fisheries sector being very vast, concerted efforts have been made to accommodate all the relevant elements. Very little reading material with proper analysis is currently available and this book is expected to bridge the gap and project way-forward to achieve sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in India under the blue revolution. The book is organised under 13 chapters covering wide ranging subjects that include fish production, processing, marketing, exports/imports of fishery products; ecolabelling; role of industry in promoting sustainability in fishing and aquaculture; sustainability issues in marine/inland fisheries/aquaculture; and fisheries regulations and legislations. Information has been provided on Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs) particularly SDG 14 (Life Below Water); components of blue economy; Government of India fisheries development initiatives; and executive summary of recently launched PMMSY. Emerging plant and cell-based seafood segment; overall impacts of climate change; and impact of recent pandemic COVID-19 on fisheries and aquaculture are discussed under separate chapters. Finally, a chapter on ‘Way Forward’ is included that suggests practical management measures, technology infusion, technical interventions along with few innovative concepts and approaches towards achieving blue revolution. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
The existing literature on limnology and fisheries of Indian reservoirs has been reviewed by covering more than 100 reservoirs located in various parts of the country. An assessment of environment-mediated production functions of reservoirs has been attempted. Since the ecosystem processes in reservoirs belonging to different geo-climatic regions exhibit wide variations depending on meteorological, morphometric and hydro-edaphic features of the impoundments, an effort has been made to gauge the influence of these abiotic variables on the production dynamics. Authentic information on water areas under different categories of reservoirs has been collected and interpreted in respect of all the Indian States. An attempt has also been made to resolve the anomalies pertaining to classification and nomenclature to the extent possible. Various fisheries management norms followed in the reservoirs of the country including the selection of species for stocking, stocking rate and introduction of exotic species have been reviewed. Indian reservoirs have been stocked with the Indo-Gangetic carps for many decades and the impact of this stocking has been assessed in terms of fish production and the indigenous faunistic diversity.
