It symbolizes the co- existence of all forms of aquatic life and our responsibility to preserve the ecology and conserve the bio-diversity by judicious exploitation of aquatic resources for sustainable development. The deep and light blue colours respectively represent the ocean and sky. The waves in the sea represent the dynamic nature of the sea with all its mystery and music. “All deep things are music” (Carlyle). The ocean is our planet’s life belt. The very survival of the human species depends upon the maintenance of an ocean, clean and alive. “For the sea lies all about us….. The continents themselves dissolve and pass to the sea…. In its mysterious past, it encompasses all the dim origins of life…. And receives in the end… the dead husks of that same life. For all at last return….To Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end” (Rachel L. Carson- The Sea Around Us, 1951). Fiat piscis: Let there be fish. This is the literal translation of the Latin words “FIAT PISCIS”. The idea is to grow more fish with a view to ensuring food and nutritional security. As Lao-tsu, the Chinese philosopher, rightly said centuries ago: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime”. Chinese net: It is a passive gear operated by a group and it represents team work and co-operation, symbolizing the aspirations of the traditional fisheries sector. Ship: Used for exploring and exploiting oceanic resources, this fully equipped vessel symbolizes the modern sector, with its sophisticated technology. Nansen bottle: Operated through a pulley and attached to the ship, it represents the concern for maintaining water quality and the need to contain water pollution. Shrimp: As a foreign exchange earner, this crustacean has tremendous importance in the fishery economy of Kerala. Pearl spot: ‘Karimeen’ (Etroplus suratensis), the State fish of Kerala, represents the dainty delicacy of the State. Conch: A mollusc, the shell with its mathematical patterns, used for carrying holy water during rituals, is a sublime symbol with spiritual, aesthetic, artistic, rejuvenating and medicinal values. Open book: It symbolizes knowledge and it signifies disinterested search for truth by research and learning.
