who are we
Aquaculture, which stretches along 8118 km of India’s coastline, is one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country. In 2020-21, India exported 1,149,510 MT of seafood worth US$5.96 billion, with shrimps being the biggest contributor followed by fish. India is now the third largest fish producing and second largest aquaculture nation in the world, after China.
The aquaculture sector is poised to play a significant role in India’s economy, with a shift from marine-dominated fisheries to inland fisheries, which now account for 70% of fish production, up from 36% in the mid-1980s. Inland fisheries have shifted from capture to culture-based fisheries, paving the way for sustained blue economy growth.”
Despite growth in absolute terms the real potential of inland fisheries and aquaculture is yet to be realized. The unutilized and underutilized vast and varied resources, in the form of 191,024 km of rivers and canals, 1.2 million Ha of floodplain lakes, 2.36 million ha of ponds and tanks, 3.54 million ha of reservoirs and 1.24 million Ha of brackish water resources offer great opportunities for enhanced production along with livelihood development and ushering economic prosperity.
