India’s fisheries and aquaculture sector is vital for food and nutritional security, livelihoods, employment and exports. Fish production has grown to over 19.7 million tonnes, making India the world’s second-largest fish producer and aquaculture producer. With vast marine, inland, brackishwater and coldwater resources, the sector has immense potential. ICAR fisheries research institutes have provided the scientific foundation for this growth. Emerging challenges demand research for sustainable, resilient and inclusive fisheries development.
