Capture fishing, mariculture, and aquaculture are vital sectors in India, supporting livelihoods and food security. In India, capture fishing involves harvesting fish from natural water bodies like oceans, rivers, and lakes. Key products include varieties such as Indian mackerel, pomfret, and shrimp, which are exported globally. Mariculture focuses on cultivating marine organisms in coastal areas, with common outputs being sea bass, oysters, and seaweed. Aquaculture, practiced in freshwater and brackish environments, produces species like rohu, catla, and prawns. These industries contribute significantly to India\“s economy, providing employment and meeting domestic and international demand for seafood. |
