For any planned fishery development programme, it is essential to know the living resources under the jurisdiction of the maritime nation, the number of fishermen engaged in fishing activities, the number of people engaged in ancillary industries, the number of craft and various fishing gears being utilized for harvesting the fish stocks, the number of fishing craft that can commercially exploit the stocks in a sustainable manner etc. For this purpose, the Government of India felt it necessary to conduct the Marine Fisheries Census of the entire coastal belt of the nation.

Accordingly, during the 10th Plan period, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture envisaged a Centrally Sponsored Scheme on “Strengthening of Database and Information Networking in Fisheries Sector” under which the Marine Fisheries Census was programmed. The work in this regard concerning the coastal belt of the mainland was assigned to the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Kochi and the same concerning the Island Groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar was assigned to the Fishery Survey of India (FSI), Mumbai.

Though the Census for the Island Groups was programmed along with the mainland Census by the CMFRI, during April-May, 2005, the same was delayed due to the devastating impact of the Tsunami that struck Andaman and Nicobar Islands on 26th December, 2004, resulting in heavy loss of life and property, especially fishing implements (craft and gear). Therefore the programme was rescheduled for Nov-Dec, 2005. As the CMFRI had the expertise in conducting the Marine Fisheries Census earlier, necessary training for the Supervisory staff of the FSI was provided by the CMFRI along with the requisite software for data entry and validation.

In order to accomplish this task, two groups of Scientific and Technical Staff of the FSI were deputed to the two Island Groups under the leadership of two Coordinators, namely Dr. A. K. Bhargava, Senior Fisheries Scientist to Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Shri N. V. Ramana Murthy, System Analyst to Lakshadweep Islands.

In Lakshadweep Islands, where the FSI does not have a Base Office, the coordinator in consultation with Shri Parimal Rai, IAS, Administrator of the UT of Lakshadweep, Dr. M. S. Sayad Ismail Koya, Director of Fisheries, Shri Sayad Shaikh Koya, Secretary, Administration of UT of Lakshadweep and Shri Muthu Koya, Asst. Director of Fisheries, Kavaratti, conducted the Census during the period from 12-11- 2005 to 23-11-2005 by deploying Scientific and Technical Staff from the FSI Headquarters, Kochi, Visakhapatnam and Mormugao Bases of FSI and the staff from the Directorate of Fisheries and the Dept. of Science and Technology, UT of Lakshadweep Islands. Both the local Administration and the Directorate of Fisheries had given excellent and timely support for the successful completion of the Census.

In Andaman & Nicobar Islands, the coordinator in consultation with the Head of the Port Blair Base of FSI, Dr. P. Paul Pandian, Senior Fisheries Scientist, Dr. V. Krishnamurthy, Director of Fisheries and Shri T. E. Venkatachalam, Dy. Chief Engineer (Mechanical), Andaman, Lakshadweep Harbour Works, conducted the Census during the period from 20-11-2005 to 11-12-2005 by deploying Scientific and Technical Staff from the FSI Headquarters, Visakhapatnam and Chennai Bases of FSI and the staff from the Directorate of Fisheries, UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. In view of the remote location of these Islands, there were a lot of difficulties for travelling between Islands as well as in conducting the Census because the local people were affected due to the Tsunami. The programme personnel in the field had to face further difficulties for want of conveyance, communication and accommodation facilities in the Islands, notwithstanding the best possible support given by the local administration.

Around 18 officials from the FSI and 15 officials from the local Administration of both the Island Groups had worked as Supervisors and 117 Enumerators were recruited locally for the Census.

The information collected in the census is presented in the form of report followed by summarised data in two parts; the first part pertaining to Island-wise information and the second part providing the village-wise information.

REPORT

National Marine Fisheries Census 2005 in Island groups

Executive summary

During the last two decades, the marine fisheries in India have undergone rapid mechanization and expansion of fishing fleet. The Government of India and the maritime States / Union Territories have also introduced various schemes for development of marine fisheries and fishermen welfare. Therefore, for formulating policies for development, management and conservation for sustainable fishery, it is essential to have reliable information on the status of marine fishery along with number of fishing villages, landing centres, fishermen population, their occupation status, fishing craft and gear and other related aspects. The last census in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands was done by the Andaman and Nicobar Administration in the year 1990. Since the last census, the marine fisheries in the Union Territory have witnessed quantitative and qualitative changes. Recognizing the need of having real time and reliable database on various aspects of marine fisheries, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, during the X Five Year Plan envisaged a programme on strengthening of database and information networking for fishery sector. The Ministry entrusted the census of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep groups of Islands to the Fishery Survey of India.

Information on all the marine fishing villages was obtained from the Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Administrations for the coverage. After identification of census parameters such as the population size, education, religion, occupation, number of craft, number of gear etc., the necessary schedules were designed to collect information and these were approved by the Technical Monitoring Committee set up by Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture. Schedule I (in vernacular and in English) to collect household information on identified parameters and Schedule II to record Island / village-wise information on infrastructure and other details and posters and handouts (both in vernacular) were also printed.

Since the post-Tsunami relief operations and resettlement of fishermen were still in progress in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the census could not be conducted simultaneously with the maritime States. Thus, census was conducted during November-December 2005, in consultation with the Director of Fisheries, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Administration.

The census in Andaman and Nicobar Islands was formally launched on 20th November 2005 at Port Blair by Shri Janak Digal, IAS, Development Commissioner-cum- Secretary (Fisheries), Andaman and Nicobar Administration. Thereafter the training was given at Port Blair for the enumerators recruited for Port Blair region. Nine FSI officials supervised the ground level census operation ensuring the proper collection of enumerating data. A total of 52 enumerators, mostly recruited from fishing villages / islands covered 103 marine fishing villages. Similarly, 9 FSI officials supervised ground level census operation and 65 enumerators were selected in Lakshadweep Islands mostly recruited from fishing villages / islands to cover 10 inhabited islands. After completion of the census, data was sent to FSI (HQ) at Mumbai for processing and preparation of reports. The software required for data entry, validation and processing was provided by the CMFRI.

Union Territory of Andaman & Nicobar

There are 103 fishing villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands having 3,275 families and a total fisherfolk population of 15,266. Women form 47.23% of the fisherfolk population, with 894 females for 1000 males. About 67% of the fisherfolk population is educated at different levels, 42.5% of them educated upto primary level, 20.29% upto secondary level and only 4.3% educated above secondary level. Of the total fisherfolk population, 4,247 fishers are actively engaged in fishing activities. Fishing related activities are predominantly done by males. Women mostly do fish marketing, net making and mending, fish processing and labour works.

The fisherfolk population in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of Hindu (85%), Christian (13%) and Islam (2%). The Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes communities mostly reside in Nicobar Group of Islands. Only 7.92% of fisherfolk population has membership in Fisheries Co-operative Societies or other Co-operative Societies.

There are 2,783 fishing craft in Andaman and Nicobar Islands of which 93.17% are in Andaman. The non-motorized craft in these Islands form 66% and mechanized craft 5.9%.

Main features of the Census

Introduction

Towards formulating marine fisheries policies for development, conservation, management and sustainable use of marine fishery resources, it is essential to have precise information on the status of marine fishery resources along with fishing villages, landing centres, fisherfolk population, occupation status, fishing craft and gears and other related parameters. Realizing the need of these inputs, the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India envisaged a scheme during the X Five Year Plan for strengthening of database and information networking for the Indian fishery sector. The national level review committee constituted by the Ministry underscored the importance to carry out a census of fishermen population, fishing craft, gears etc.

The Fishery Survey of India, with its mandate for survey and assessment of fish stocks and charting of fishing grounds in the Indian EEZ and adjoining high seas, assessment of suitability of deepsea fishing gear, marine fisheries forecasting, maintaining data on deepsea fishery resources and dissemination of information to different user groups and human resources development, was recognized as one of the agencies for the national level marine fishery census. The Institute was given the task of conducting the census in the Union Territories of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands. The CMFRI was assigned the task of conducting the census in the coastal states in the mainland.

The census in the Island territories was programmed to be conducted simultaneously with the census in the mainland during April-May 2005. However, considering the post- Tsunami effects in the Andaman and Nicobar Group of Islands, in consultation with the Andaman and Nicobar Administration, the census was carried out during November- December 2005.

Objectives

The objectives of the census are to :

¾ Determine population size and structure on a micro level. ¾ Assess the educational, occupational and socio-religious status of fisherfolk. ¾ Determine active fishermen engaged in fishing. ¾ Determine gender-wise occupation in fishery related activities. ¾ Quantify the number of craft and gear. ¾ Determine the number of craft and gear owned by fisherfolk. ¾ Obtain information on infrastructure facilities such as landing centres etc. ¾ Obtain information on other utilitarian facilities and social aspects.

Reference dates

The reference date of Census in Andaman and Nicobar Islands shall be taken as 20th November 2005 and for Lakshadweep Group of Islands as 12th November 2005.

Methodology

Conducting a census involves a number of highly complex statistical processes. One must begin with a quality sampling frame in which errors due to under-coverage, mis- classification and duplication are minimized. Before commencement of the census, the list of marine fishing villages available with FSI was validated with the latest data on number and list of marine fishing villages obtained from the Union Territories concerned. The coordinators were then instructed to further verify and validate the list of marine fishing villages through field visits, to ascertain whether the listed villages fall under the purview of marine fisheries census.

The census data were collected on two levels, one on a micro level covering individual households in each fishing village. These data were collected by field level enumerators. The enumerators were sent to all identified fisherfolk households in the coverage area and detailed information was recorded in the enumeration forms. Complete enumeration by the interviewing method was applied. In the second level, data were collected on a village-wise basis chiefly aimed at obtaining information on the infrastructure facilities. This was carried out by the field level supervisors from the FSI.

It is understandable that in this census, where the education and socio-economic status of the target population is not high, there are bound to be non-sampling errors, or response error could be due to unwillingness to report correctly for a number of reasons. Every effort was made to reduce these errors. One of the main features of this census was the selection of field level enumerators. Almost all the enumerators were from the fisher communities and mostly from the same island / villages that were being enumerated. As the enumerators were from the same island and better acquainted with the local situations, it is expected that errors could be minimal. The three tier supervision, as mentioned earlier, also facilitated in minimization of errors.

Definitions

1. House-hold : A household consists of a person or a group of persons who live together in the same house, share the same house-keeping arrangements and are catered for as one. It is important to remember that members of a household are not necessarily related (by blood or marriage) as, for instance, maidservants may form part of household. On the other hand, not all those related in the same house are necessarily members of the same household, two brothers who live in the same house with their wives and children may or may not form separate households depending their catering arrangements. Thus, in many cases, a house may be broken into separate households (families). 2. Marine fisherman : A person who is engaged in marine fishing or any other fishing associated activity or both (A person here means a man or a woman). 3. Marine fishing village : An assemblage of houses / dwelling place where marine fishermen live. 4. Fish landing centre : The place or harbour where fishermen land their craft with catch. 5. Fishermen family : A family in which at least one member is engaged in marine fishing or associated activities or both.

Family size

1. Adult : Adult refers to a person who has attained the age of 15 and above. 2. Children : Those who are below 15 years of age.

Occupation

1. Actual fishing : Fisherman engaged in fishing (Fishing includes seed collection also in this context). A fisherman engaged in actual fishing / seed collection can be included in any one of the three categories, viz. Full Time or Part-time or Occasional. 2. Full-time : A Fisherman who spends at least 90% of his working time for fishing. 3. Part-time : A fisherman who spends at least 30% of his working time, but less than 90% of his time in fishing. 4. Occasional : Includes those who spend less than 30% of their time in fishing.

Education

1. Primary includes those who studied upto Vth standard of schooling. 2. Secondary refers to those who have studied upto Xth standard. 3. Above Secondary refers to those who have continued their education above secondary.

Design of Schedules

Two types of Schedules designed by the CMFRI were used to collect various parameters identified for collecting the items of information at the field level; one, for the house-hold information and the other, village-level items, mainly on the availability of infrastructure facilities. The household schedule contains 243 columns intended to cover population size with details on male, female, adult and children in each family, their social and educational status; their involvement in co-operatives together with occupation in the fishing and related activities. The inventory of craft and gears, of different types and sizes, owned and shared by each family was also enumerated upon.

Training of Supervisors

The officers of FSI, participated in the training programmes organized by the CMFRI at Mumbai, Chennai, Cochin and Visakhapatnam. The various inputs to Schedule I and Schedule II were thoroughly discussed.

Appointment and training of Enumerators

In consultation with the Director of Fisheries, Andaman and Nicobar Administration and Lakshadweep Administration for the conduct of the census 52 enumerators were appointed in Andaman & Nicobar Islands and 65 in Lakshadweep Islands and the enumerators (with education level of higher secondary or above) were drawn from the fishing communities and mostly from the islands and fishing villages concerned. Enumerators were trained by the field level supervisors to collect household information, prior to the actual census operation, and thereafter, field level collection of various items of Schedule I commenced on a trial basis. On validation and making necessary corrections, the actual census operation was started. However, in some of the islands, especially in the Nicobar Group, enumerators could not be selected in advance and supervisors after reaching the islands, selected the enumerators with the help of U.T. fisheries officials.

Instructions

Exhaustive instructions in the vernacular for the field level enumerators (Annexure-II) to collect and fill up all the columns have been prepared and distributed to the enumerators.

Publicity and media coverage

Publicity materials (Annexure-III) in Hindi and English were distributed through posters and other handouts. The print and visual media (Akashwani and Doordarshan) extended wide coverage for the Census programme.

Launching of Census operation

National Project of Marine Fisheries Census in Andaman and Nicobar Group of Islands was formally launched on 20th November 2005 at the Conference Hall of Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), Haddo, Port Blair. Shri Janak Digal, IAS, Development Commissioner-cum-Secretary (Fisheries), Andaman and Nicobar Administration inaugurated the census. He hoped that the census in Andaman and Nicobar Islands will provide valuable basic information on fishermen population, processing units and infrastructure facilities

10 National Marine Fisheries Census 2005 in Island groups

available in these islands, which will help in formulating and planning future developmental activities. Dr. V. Krishnamoorthy, Director and Fisheries, assured his full support to the activity and opined that census results will provide information on the fisheries establishment, infrastructure and post-Tsunami harvesting, which will be more helpful in implementation of various programmes and relief measures. The census in the Lakshadweep Group of Islands was launched on 12th November 2005.

Data entry, validation, processing and report generation

After completion of census work in different islands, the data schedules were sent to FSI headquarters at Mumbai. Because of the volume of information associated with a census data collection, it becomes very important to automate as many of these to edit and process. Editing and analysis must include the ability to examine individual records for consistency and completeness. This is often referred to as “micro” editing or “input” editing. For this a software for data entry, data validation and report generation was developed. Database (MS- ACCESS) for each Union Territory was created. Three data entry operators were appointed. After completion of data entry, the validation checks were run for each database. Reports in the form of different tables covering each of the census items aggregated over island / village level were prepared. Summary of various parameters of the census in Andaman and Nicobar Islands are presented in the ensuing sections.

Only 5.53% are members of Fisheries Co-operative Societies. c. Maximum members of Fisheries Co-operative Societies are found in Rangat, Diglipur, Little Andaman and Campbell Bay.

1.6 Craft

The details of different types of craft each in the categories of mechanized, motorized and non-motorized are collected in two levels. One on the macro level that indicates the district-wise fleet strength in the fishery aggregated over villages. This information was collected by the field level supervisors (FSI staff) from village records and by actual count where ever possible. The Island-wise summary is given in Table 1.1.9, Fig.1.10. The other on micro-level, pertains to the craft owned by the fisherfolk and this information was collected from the individual household survey as per the Schedule-I (Table 1.1.10). The craft shared was also collected (Table 1.1.11, Fig.1.11).

¾ There are 2,783 fishing craft in Andaman and Nicobar Group of Islands of which 2,539 are in Andaman and 244 in Nicobar (Table 1.1.9). ¾ There are 165 mechanized craft mainly consisting of gill netters (90.9%) (Fig.1.12). ¾ There is no mechanized craft in Nicobar Group of Islands. ¾ The motorized craft are dugout canoes, catamarans, plank built boats, ring seiners, fibre glass boats and ferro cement boats. Out of 781 motorized craft 97.8% are in Andaman and only 2.2% in Nicobar. ¾ The non-motorized craft (1837) are dugout canoes, catamarans and plank built boats. Plank built boats are the largest in number forming (90%) of the total non-motorized craft. ¾ In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, 96.8% of the total craft are owned by fisherfolk and the rest is shared (Table 1.1.10). ¾ In Andaman 97.7% of the total craft are owned by fisherfolk whereas in Nicobar 91.8% of the total craft owned by fisherfolk.

1.7 Fishing Gear

Gillnet and hook and line are the main fishing gears in Andaman and Nicobar Group of Islands. Gillnet alone (Table 1.12) forms 78.8% of the total gears followed by hook and line (15.67%), longline (1.2%) and others. The other fishing gears used in the Island are boat- seine, fixed bag nets, tro1l lines, ring seine, shore seine and traps. District-wise, Andaman have 96.8% of the total gears (Fig.1.13 to Fig.1.16).

The sharing pattern of gears among fisherfolk indicates that most of the gears are owned by fisherfolk (Table 1.1.13). Shore seine is the only gear which is shared (Table 1.1.14).

13 National Marine Fisheries Census 2005 in Island groups

1.8 Infrastructure facilities

About 77 fishing villages in Andaman and Nicobar Islands are connected by road with 86 villages having electric supply (Table 1.15). Of the 58 hospitals / dispensaries, 40 are in Andaman and 18 in Nicobar. Banking facilities are available in most of the Islands.

The fishermen population mainly lives in Kutcha houses (87%) (Table 1.1.16). Almost all the Islands have primary and secondary schools. However, Colleges and Technical Institutes are only in Port Blair.

There are three boat building yards in Port Blair (Table 1.1.17). Other fishery related infrastructure includes nine Ice factories, six cold storages and three freezing plants, all in Andaman Islands. Besides, in each Island, at fish market, the UT Administration has provided deep freezer, for the benefit of fishermen.
