Fisheries and aquaculture remain an important source of food, nutrition, employment and income for millions, especially for the rural population. In fact, the sector provides livelihood to about 28 million fishers and fish farmers at the primary level and twice the number along the value chain. Fish being an affordable and rich source of animal protein, is one of the healthiest options to mitigate hunger and nutrient deficiency. The Fisheries sector of India has shown impressive growth with an average annual growth rate of 10.88% during the year 2014-15 to 2018-19 and stood at an all-time high of 137.58 lakh metric tons during the year 2018-19. The export of marine products stood at 13.93 lakh metric tons and valued at Rs.46,589 crores (USD 6.73 billion) during the year 2018-19 with an impressive average annual growth rate of about 10% in recent years.
