The Sector provides livelihood to about 16 million fishers and fish farmers at the primary level and almost twice the number along the value chain. Recognizing the importance of the sector, an independent Department of Fisheries was created in 2019 to provide sustained and focused attention towards the development of Fisheries Sector. 1.2 The Sector has been showing a steady growth in the total GVA and accounts for 6.58 per cent of GDP from agriculture, forestry and fishing. The fish production in India has registered an average annual growth rate of more than 7 per cent in the recent years.

The Marine Fisheries Resources are spread along the country’s vast coastline and 2.02 million square km. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and 0.53 million sq.km. Continental Shelf Area. The Inland Resources are in the form of rivers and canals (1.95 lakh km.), floodplain lakes (8.12 lakh hectares), ponds and tanks (24.1 lakh hectares), reservoirs (31.5 lakh hectares), brackish water (12.4 lakh hectares), saline/alkaline affected areas (12 lakh hectares), etc. 1.3 The total fish production in the country stood at 13.42 million metric tonnes (provisional) during 2018-19. Of this, the Marine Fisheries contributed 3.71 million metric tonnes and the Inland Fisheries contributed 9.71 million metric tonnes.
