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
