Fishery Trends in India
In India, aquaculture is still in the development stage. Through adopting a scientific approach, India, with its 7500-km-long coastline, a large inland water system and rich natural resources, can become a dominant supplier of seafood, which is highly sought after throughout the world and marine resources for industrial and medicinal purposes.
At present, there are over 300 fish processing units in the country and seafood export from India has been increasing every year and touched 1.2 billion in 2005.
Frozen shrimp, fresh and frozen fish, squid, cuttlefish, lobsters and dried and live products are among the important items exported from India. Shrimp is the most dominant item in our export list accounting for almost two-thirds of the total export earnings.
Shrimp aquaculture is also profitable because of its universal taste, high unit value, short duration of crop, quick returns on investment, persistent demand and a fast expanding world market.
The fisheries industry is rapidly developing as a full-fledged industry providing employment to traditional fishermen as well as to highly skilled personnel engaged in the scientific breeding and management of fisheries, including Hatchery Production Worker.
