Deep sea fishing refers to the practice of fishing in the deeper parts of the ocean, typically at depths of 30 meters or more, where fishermen target larger marine species that inhabit offshore waters.
In India, deep sea fishing has gained significant importance due to the country\“s vast coastline and rich marine resources. Indian fishermen use specialized boats and equipment to venture into the deep waters of the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal.
Local Indian products related to deep sea fishing include various types of fishing nets, hooks, and modern fishing gear manufactured by Indian companies. These products are designed to withstand the challenging conditions of deep sea environments.
Indian seafood exporters process and export deep sea catches such as tuna, king fish, and pomfret to international markets. The fishing industry provides employment to thousands of coastal communities across India\“s maritime states.
Government initiatives in India promote sustainable deep sea fishing practices to ensure marine conservation while supporting the livelihoods of fishing communities. |
