This document attempts a brief and factual presentation of data and baseline information on the main features of the small-scale marine fisheries of India. It could serve as an introduction to the problems and prospects of this sector leading to deeper studies of particular aspects; as a source of general information about the sector; or, more particularly, as a background document for use in discussions on the planning and programming of development assistance. This is a revised and updated edition of a General Description of Small-Scale Fisheries, India, originally prepared in 1976 by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, New Delhi, India in consultation with the FAO/UNDP Project for Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in Southwest Asia, RAS/74/031, revised in consultation with the Project by Dr. P. V. Rao, Scientist, Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin in 1976 and published as RAS/74/031 Working Paper No. 2. The present revision was carried out with the assistance of a national consultant, Dr. T. A. Mammen, formerly Joint Commissioner (Fisheries) to the Government of India. The preparation of this document is an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, GCP/RAS/040/SWE, a regional FAO programme funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO). Five countries are members- Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand. The aims of the BOBP are to develop, demonstrate and promote appropriate technologies and methodologies to improve the conditions of small-scale fisherfolk and to increase the supply of fish from the small-scale sector in the member countries. . |
