| dc.description.abstract | The marine fisheries sector in India has witnessed a phenomenal growth during the last five decades both quantitatively and qualitatively. India ranks seventh in position, contributing about 2.72% (3.9 million tonnes including inland and marine production) to the world fish production for about 143.6 million t (FAQ, 2009). The subsistence fisheries during the early 1950s produced about 0.5 million t, annually (Srinath, 2003). At present, the marine fish landings of India is about 3.21 million t with an increase of about 11.3%, compared to the estimate of the previous year (CMFRI, 2009). Out of this production, mechanized sector contributed 74%, followed by motorized (22%) and artisanal sectors (4%), during 2008. Out of marine landings, pelagic resources contributed 71% of the total marine production of Kerala (CMFRI, 2009). Major resources contributing to the pelagic landings were oil sardine (54%), mackerel (13%), carangids (9%), anchovies (6%), tunas (5%), ribbonfishes (4%), seerfishes (2%) and lesser sardines (2%). Ring seine is the most important gear employed for harvesting small pelagic resources like sardines, mackerel and anchovies in the southwest coast of India, especially along the Kerala coast. In Kerala, 86% of oil sardine, 71% of lesser sardines and 67% of mackerel landings were contributed by the ring seine fishery. | en_US |
