Home Fish Catch Estimates
Landings of marine fish by numerous fishing crafts take place at 1511 landing centres situated along 6100 km long coast line of the main land in India in all seasons during day and night. Species wise catch, fishing effort, details of fishing crafts and gears and other related information are collected by following a scientific sampling scheme, stratified multi-stage random sampling design, developed by CMFRI and used to estimate landings and fishing effort each month for smaller non-overlapping geographical areas referred to as fishing zones covering the entire coast. The information generated is stored under National Marine Fishery Resources Data Centre (NMFDC) of CMFRI.
