The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has been conducting fishery survey
along the Indian coast and estimating marine fish landings and effort expended.
Gearwise, specieswise, quarterwise fish landing data from the year 1962 for each
maritime state of the country are being populated periodically at the Data Centre
of CMFRI. In case of any specific requirement, enquiry may be made at director@cmfri.org.in
