There are no organized and coherent efforts in the country to formulate and implement policies for the processed fish/fishery products for domestic markets.

  ThreatsThreats • The marinefish catch is stagnating due to uncontrolled fishing and over exploitation of coastal resources. • Climate change and other factors are leading to decrease in marine fish catches and the climate change is also having impact on inland fisheries • The Indian retail departmental stores is already having ready to eat imported processed fishery products such as canned Tuna, Salmon etc. If India is not geared to meet the international competition there is increased threat from such products flooding the Indian markets.

  OpportunitiesOpportunities • The potentialyield of the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) has been revalidated as 4.41 million tonnes • Fisheries and aqua-culture provide for diversification as well as value addition in farming practices. Due to value addition, fish farmers and fishermen across the country will receive remunerative prices for their produce. • In case of aqua-culture, scope exists for bringing more fish species with a focus on food fish, ornamental species and those with potentials for sport and tourism.
