Prospects of fisheries development in India by 2000 AD
The fishery resources of India are extensive. The demand for fish for domestic consumption will be at least 10 million by 2000 AD. With proper planning and management, fish production from inland, brackishwater and marine sources can be increased to 5 million tonnes, 1 million tonne and 4 million tonnes respectively. But the increase in the last 37 years is approximately equals 2.1 million tonnes over the base level of 1950. If the present trend is continued, the expected fish production will be approximately equals 6 million tonnes by 2000 AD, and hence, only approximately equals 60% of the domestic demand can be met.
