General Features and Fisheries Potential of Palk Bay, Palk Strait and Its Environs
J. Natn.Sci.Foundation Sri Lanka 2005 33(4): 225-232 FEATURE ARTICLE GENERAL FEATURES AND FISHERIES POTENTIAL OF PALK BAY, PALK STRAIT AND ITS ENVIRONS S. SIVALINGAM* 18, Pamankade Lane, Colombo 6. Abstract: The issue of possible social and environmental serving in the former Department of Fisheries, impacts of the shipping canal proposed for the Palk Bay and Colombo (now Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Palk Strait area is a much debated topic. Therefore it is Resources) and also recently when consultation necessary to explore the general features of the said area to assess such impacts when formulating the development and assignments were done in these areas. Other management programmes relevant to the area. This paper available data have also been brought together discussed the general features of the area, its environmental and a comprehensive picture of the general and ecological condition and the fisheries potential in detail features and fisheries potential of the areas so as to give some insight to the reader on this important under study is presented below. topic. This article is based on the data collected from earlier field visits and other published information relevant to the subject. GENERAL FEATURES INTRODUCTION Palk Bay and Palk Strait together (also called Sethusamudram), consist of an area of about Considerable interest has been created in the 17,000km2. This is an almost enclosed shallow water Palk Bay, Palk Strait and its environs recently as body that separates Sri Lanka from the a result of the Indian project to construct a mainland India and opens on the east into the shipping canal to connect Gulf of Mannar BOB ( Figure 1 ). -
Smart Border Management: Indian Coastal and Maritime Security

Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country. -

However, this space has become a subject of contention due to multiple factors, including territorial issues over the island of Kachchatheevu, the intrusion of Indian fishermen into Sri Lankan waters and trawling. This paper attempts to engage with the traditional ideas of ownership over the Palk Bay, and the modern international treaties that govern nation-states, in the context of the country’s economic dependence on seafood and the environmental implications of trawling. | CONTEXTUALISING THE DISPUTE Fishing contributes to 1% of India’s overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 5% to India’s agricultural GDP (Press Information Bureau 2019). Around 20% of all marine fisherfolk are from Tamil Nadu; that is a total fisherfolk population of 8,12,912 (Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute 2010). The Palk Bay is home to 580 species of fish, 302 species of marine algae, 11 seagrass species, 5 marine turtle species as well as several species of mangroves (Salagramma 2014:7; Purohit 2017). -

SOUVENIR 20Th Anniversary Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (Government of India)
'WH«wwipiii^5!^P)ipppp^-^!^^^,. r -wi SOUVENIR 20th Anniversary Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (Government of India) ISSUED BY THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE C. M. F. R. I. RECREATION CLUB MANDAPAM CAMP The Grey Mullets BY G. LUTHER Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute The grey mullets comprising the family Mugilidae are a common sight in the coastal waters and estuaries of the tropical and subtropical zones of all seas. They are known to ascend frequently into the fresh water zone of rivers. The main food of the mullets restrict them to shallow waters for feeding and presumably explain their abundance in estuaries and lagoons where such food reach their greatest density. Mullets in general are hardy fish, capable of living in extreme conditions of environment. They tolerate wide variation in salinity ranging from that of fresh water to brine water (92%o), and temperature ranging from 3-4°C to 40°C. They are known to survive in oxygen levels as low as 0.5 p.p.m. On account of these properties the grey mullets are probably one of the most important of all salt water fishes for farming in fresh and saline waters. They are extensively cultivated in several countries of the Indo-Pacific region, in Israel and in Egypt to augment the food supplies. Due to their good flavour and high nutritive value, mullets form one of the best table fishes. In view of their economic importance, the grey mullets of India have been investigated in some detail at the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in recent years.
