What to Focus On

  • Two main types of fish catch in India are marine and inland.
  • Marine fisheries are linked mainly with the continental shelf up to 200 metres depth.
  • Inland fisheries include fresh water and several brackish-water locations such as estuaries and lagoons.

  • India ranks second in the world in fish production.
  • Fish production increased sharply from 1950-51 to 2021-22.
  • Employment in fishing is very large.

  • India has a long and valuable marine fishing zone.
  • West coast contributes much more to marine landings than the East coast.
  • Only a part of the marine potential is currently used.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Andhra Pradesh is the biggest marine fishing state because it is the largest fishing state overall.

Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Chhattisgarh have both marine and inland fisheries because they produce a lot of fish.

West Bengal is a leading marine fishing state because it is second in total fish production.
