Fisheries Industry in India
India has vast potential for fisheries in view of our long coastline of about 8,118 km apart from the inland water resources. As per the estimates of CSO, the value of output from fisheries sector at current price was about ?91,541 crore during 2012- 13 which is about 4.36% of the value of agricultural and allied sector output at current price. India is the second largest producer of fish and the second largest producer of fresh water fish in the world.
Chank Industry in India
The demand for chanks from the bangle industry in West Bengal has persisted at about 25 million chanks per year from the early part of this century to the present. The present supplies, which meet only about 40% of the demand, come mainly from the Gulf of Mannar. The growing demand for chank and pearls has led to a demand for more workers like Man Duck and Rock Pilots.
