The fisheries sector in India occupies a vital place in the country’s economic geography due to its contribution to food security, employment generation, export earnings, and regional development. With a coastline of over 7,500 kilometers, an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of about 2 million square kilometers, and vast inland water resources including rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and ponds, India possesses diverse and rich fishery resources. This diversity has enabled the development of both marine and inland fisheries, making India one of the leading fish-producing nations in the world. Marine fisheries form a significant component of the sector and are primarily concentrated along the eastern and western coasts of the country. The western coast, stretching from Gujarat to Kerala, is more productive due to favorable oceanographic conditions such as upwelling, which brings nutrient-rich water to the surface. States like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, and Karnataka are major contributors to marine fish production. Gujarat, for instance, leads in marine catch due to its long coastline and well-developed fishing infrastructure. On the eastern coast, states like Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha are prominent contributors, with Andhra Pradesh also excelling in aquaculture. Major fish varieties in marine fisheries include sardines, mackerel, tuna, pomfret, and prawns.
