Small-Scale Fisheries Transition to Sustainable and Responsible Fishing in India - a Micro Level Study
IIFET 2010 Montpellier Proceedings SMALL-SCALE FISHERIES TRANSITION TO SUSTAINABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FISHING IN INDIA - A MICRO LEVEL STUDY PAZHANI KANTHIAH T.D.M.N.S.COLLEGE T.KALLIKULAM [email protected] ABSTRACT Small-scale fisheries play an important role in generating employment, income and livelihood to the fisherfolk. It constitutes 81 per cent of the total fisheries sector in India. But, this sector remains neglected and the fisherfolk are socially and economically backward. Even after six decades of planned development nearly 62 per cent of the fisherfolk families do not possess crafts. Resource constraints coupled with absence of fishing and other related infrastructures in most of the fishing villages compel fishermen households to migrate to earn their livelihood. Migrant fishermen formed a new village and follow simple method of fishing, which are eco-friendly, economical in the use of fuel and gears. Their responsible fishing is useful for fishing without any by-catches and wastage of marine resources. With this theoretical background, this paper is framed in such a way to analyze the factors that contribute to the transition of small-scale fisheries to sustainable and responsible fishing in Tamil Nadu, India. Factors which hamper small-scale fisheries development have been discussed. The main focus of the study is on the impact of fishermen migration on the socio-economic status of migrants and also the sustainability of fishing operations without class conflict. Policy implications emerging in the light of the findings of the study are also given briefly. Keywords: Small-scale fisheries, responsible fishing, sustainable fishing In recent years, world fisheries have become a market-driven, dynamically developing sector of the food industry. -

BALASUBRAMANYAN, Research Officer, Central Institute of Fisheries Technology, Cochin. [Rod and line, hand-line, trolling-line, and fish-traps are the different types of fishing gears wherein suitable fish baits are employed with a view to luring the catch. The coastal fishermen of India mostly use different types of natural fish-baits to catch fishes like Perches, Carangids, Sciaenids, Scombroids and Elasmobranchs. The reactions of the fishes caught to the different baits used are quite varied. Successful line fishing operations very much dep end on the fish-baits. A detailed record of the variety of fishes caught, types of fishing and different baits used by the coastal fishermen of India has been made.] The fundamental principles involved in commercial sea-fishing can be broadly classified under three major heads vi'z. Attacking, Snaring and Luring. The last two types of fishing alone accounts for the maximum of the total fish production from the seas. While snaring the fish-stock mo ving in a shoal or school with suitable designs of nets is by far the most widely practised form of fishing in India, luring the fish with a view to entic ing them to enter a trapping contriva nee or to bite a hook is equally popular with the coastal fishermen. -

Nagle Abstract This project endeavored to provide a formative, contemporaneously applicable, and fully quantitative baseline of a significant component of the shark harvest produced by the nation of India, namely, the longline bycatch mortality for sharks generated from the commercial-scale fishing activity in the extensive oceanic region of India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the nature and scope of which is little understood. Worldwide, shark populations have experienced marked declines due to the advent of modern industrial fishing. -

Marine Fisheries Data Collection Methods in India – an Update IOTC
IOTC-2019-WPM10-21 Marine fisheries data collection methods in India – an update Mukesh1, Sijo P. Varghese2, Sanjay Pandey1, and L. Ramalingam3 1Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, New Delhi, India; 2Fishery Survey of India, Port Blair, India; 3Fishery Survey of India, Mumbai, India Abstract The marine fishery data collection in India is accomplished by two methods a). land-based sampling (by Fisheries Departments of State Governments/Union Territories (UT) and the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, CMFRI) and b) sea-based exploratory surveys (by Fishery Survey of India, FSI). The CMFRI along with the Fisheries Departments of the coastal States/UTs undertakes regular sampling and estimation of the fish landings from designated landing points throughout the coastline. Besides estimating the fishery landings, studies on biological and socio-economic attributes of fisheries are also carried out by the institute on a regular basis. The Fishery Survey of India (FSI) operates eleven research/survey vessels for collecting the sea truth data on the fish abundance, biology, oceanographic parameters etc. Time series data on landings and effort are used to arrive at estimates on Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY). For potential yield estimations of highly migratory large pelagics, a proxy of the MSY estimations by Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), after incorporating correction factors including productivity and results of fishery independent surveys are used. The methodologies adopted by these different agencies for data collection and reporting are detailed in the present paper. Introduction Marine fishing in India is mainly undertaken The Republic of India, located between the using small motorised and mechanized crafts. -
Inter-Sectoral Fisheries Governance Issues and Solutions on the Cauvery River, India
CHAPTER 8 Inter-Sectoral Fisheries Governance Issues and Solutions on the Cauvery River, India Shannon D. Bower1, Rajeev Raghavan2,3, Neethi Mahesh3, Andy J. Danylchuk4 & Steven J. Cooke1 Abstract Home to some of the world’s most iconic rivers and large numbers of lakes, ponds, wetlands and canals, India is the third largest producer of inland fish in the world. The freshwater resources of India feature high biodiversity and endemism, collectively threatened by increasing numbers of invasive species, pollution, water diversion, fragmentation, and habitat loss. Fishers and local communities that rely on inland water resources in India represent an equally wide-ranging human landscape, speaking over 300 languages and coming from diverse religious, economic, and social backgrounds. These communities face severe challenges regarding resource access and livelihood security in a complex governance system. In South India, numerous fishing communities manage to combine traditional and formal management techniques in various ways, including through panchayat-style decision-making processes, government programs, and community cooperatives. We discuss the fishery characteristics, governance attributes, looming threats and potential solutions for the Cauvery River commercial, subsistence, and recreational fisheries, as well as explore the ways governance structures address community participation and socio-political equality. 1. Introduction India is home to some of the world’s most iconic rivers, an exceptional diversity of fishes, and a complex -

Future Scope of Sport Fisheries Development in India: a Review
Indian J. Anim. Hlth. (2018), 57(1) : 01-16 Review Article FUTURE SCOPE OF SPORT FISHERIES DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA: A REVIEW A. MANDAL, S. K. DAS1*, B. BISWAS1 AND S. O. KAIRNAR Department of Aquaculture College of Fisheries, GADVASU Ludhiana, Punjab, India Sport fishing is one of the most adventurous activities throughout the world. Most of the developed and developing countries have the modern tools and techniques for catching the fish. In the developing country like in India, there is a huge gap on information, scientific knowledge about sport fish as because the sport fishing activities is region and species specific. Though few states in India follow the Government rules and regulation but there is a lack of awareness about sport fishing activities to conserve the threatened and going to endanger fish species. Also the activity will help to mitigate unemployment problem through income generation; simultaneously catering ecotourism avenues. Moreover Government interference is also necessary for sustainable development and management of sport fisheries activity in India. Key words: Conservation, Employment opportunity, Rules and Regulation, Sport fishing, Sustainable development Recreational fishing, also called sport black markets (FAO, 2012). The most fishing, is fishing for pleasure or common form of recreational fishing is competition. It can be contrasted done with a rod, reel, line, hooks and any with commercial fishing, which is fishing one of a wide range of baits. Other devices for profit, or subsistence fishing, which is commonly referred to as terminal tackle are fishing for survival. Recreational fishing also used to affect or complement the can be defined as fishing of aquatic animals presentation of the bait to the targeted fish.
