There
is a large xxxxx untapped potential in fisheries and aquaculture,
which can contribute considerably to improve the livelihoods
as also women empowerment. The future development of aquaculture
depends on adoption of new and innovative production technologies,
management and utilization of less utilized water resources
and proper market tie-ups. Reservoir fisheries offers a major
opportunity to enhance fish production in the country. In
the marine sector, while the coastal fisheries have been fully
exploited, deep-sea fisheries resources are yet to be harnessed.
Diversification and high value produce could add new dimensions
to the sector. Proper post-harvest handling, reduction of
losses and hygienic primary processing are important to realize
full potentials of the sector. Simultaneously, effective marketing
arrangements are to be made to ensure adequate returns to
the fishers and the farmers as also make available good quality
fish at affordable prices to the consumers. With these in
view, an end-to-end approach from ensuring proper input availability
to efficient marketing is contemplated, for a 'win-win' situation
for both the fish producer and the consumer. Set in this background,
the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) would seek
to realize the full potentials of Indian fisheries through
coordination of different agencies and public-private partnerships.
