Mud banks fishery estimates

Most of the natural processes are common to all coastlines and their physico-chemical characteristics are quite well known. But, there are some localised and seasonal process, have significant role in socio-economic benefit of coastal habitant and require continuous study to understand for sustainable exploration. Mud banks are such an inquisitive coastal phenomenon which occurs only at a few locations in the nearshore waters of the world ocean. Muddy shores and adjacent shore faces are found along several open coasts of the world including south west coast of India. They are generally associated with the dispersal pathways of rivers that discharge large quantities of fine-grained sediment. The high mud supply also has considerable coastal ecological and economic impacts on several coastal countries

A code list of common marine living resources of the Indian Seas (Revised Edition)

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Cochin is the pioneer national establishment primarily engaged in marine fisheries research in the country. As a programme of dissemination of information the Institute published a code list of common marine living resources of the Indian seas in 1983. However, considerable changes have since occurred in the nomenclature of many of the genera, families and species of fishes. Hence it is felt that there is an urgent need to revise the code list incorporating these changes. The present publication is a result of this exercise

Code list of common marine living resources of the Indian Seas (With Revised Version)

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has been estimating marine fish landings along the Indian Coast for the past three decades and the data are being furnished to Central and State Governments, Industry, and national and international agencies. The Institute is also involved with the assessment of our marine fishery resources and management of multispecies harvested by diverse fishing gears. In the years to come, our commercially utilised marine animal and plant resources may cover not only conventional fin-and shell-fishes.but also non-conventional groups, such as mesopelagics, sponges, corals and seaweeds. There are endangered groups, such as marine mammals and turtles, which are protected under Wildlife Act. They occur as incidental catches or are 'occasionally stranded and these need monitoring
