Economics is the social science, which examines how people choose to use limited or scarce resources
in attempting to satisfy their unlimited wants. Alfred Marshall defined economics as тАЬa study of mankind in
the ordinary business of life; it examines that part of individual and social action which is most closely
connected with the attainment and with the use of the material requisites of wellbeingтАЭ. Thus it is on one
side a study of wealth; and on the other, and more important side, a part of the study of man. Most
contemporary definitions of economics are based upon choice and scarcity. One of the earliest definitions
in this category is by Lionell Robbins in 1935: тАЬEconomics is a science which studies human behavior as a
relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses.

Economics is the study of how human beings in a society go about achieving their
wants and desires. It is also defined as the study of allocation of scarce resources to
satisfy individual wants or desires. The latter is perhaps the best way to broadly define the
study of economics in general. Economists analyse questions and issues on the basis of
trade off i.e. they compare the cost and the benefits of every issue and make decisions
based on those costs and benefits. Broadly, economics may be divided into
macroeconomics and microeconomics. Macroeconomics as the name suggests is the study
of the overall economy and its aggregates such as Gross National Product, Inflation,
Unemployment, Exports, Imports, Taxation policy etc. Microeconomics deals with
individual actors in the economy such as firms and individuals. Further the market is
perhaps the most important and complex institution playing a vital role in the decision
making process of any economy

Socio Economic Scenario of Marine Fisheries in Kerala - Status and Scope for Improvement
The share of fishery sector in the
Agricultural State Domestic Product of Kerala
increased from 5.18 % in the eighties to 9.36 %
in nineties and thereafter maintained a stable
position. The consistent increase in share of
fisheries in the agricultural and allied sectors
over the years establishes the significance of this
sunrise sector
Diversification of aquaculture for empowerment to fisheries through institution village linkage programme (IVLP) in Kerala, India
Technology Assessment and Refinement through the Institution Village Linkage Programme (IVLP) is the latest participatory extension model successfully undertaken by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research in India. The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has been implementing IVLP since 2001 to assess and refine the technologies of the coastal agro ecosystems at Elamkunnapuzha village (Vypeen Island) in the Ernakulam District of Kerala. A series of need based location specific technology intervention plans have been introduced to overcome the social and biological constraints on farming practices in fisheries, livestock and agriculture, and implemented with the active participation of the stakeholders. The inferences drawn from IVLP ultimately form a package suitable for enhanced production in the costal agro ecosystem for replication to other areas with similar characteristics. This paper gives a brief account of the treatment packages applied in fisheries through various technological interventions and discusses the consequent yield and benefits obtained. The тАШintegrated whole village developmentтАЩ through the involvement of multi institutional teams and a participatory approach was accorded prime importance in the IVLP of Elamkunnapuzha, with a greater emphasis on marginal and small farmers and specifically focusing on women for poverty alleviation and equity under the coastal agro e

Marine fisheries ensure the livelihood security of about three million people inhabited along the
coastal belt and an equal number living elsewhere and depending on the post harvest sector, besides supplying
nutrition rich food to the entire population. In the export front, the foreign exchange earnings of marine
products reached the level of Rs. 8363.53 crores (2006-07). Fisheries sector contributes to about one per
cent of the GDP (2005-06). Though the marine fish production has increased from 0.5 million tonnes in
1950 to 2.71 million tonnes in 2006, the per capita production of all types of fishing units has declined over
the years. The post harvest sector of marine fisheries employs about 15 lakh people. In marine fish marketing,
initially almost the entire 1332 landing centres located all along the 8129 km of Indian coast, served as
primary markets. Gradually the commercial importance of traditional landing points shifted to a few selected
urban centres mainly because of the better fishery infrastructure facilities available in these areas,

Growth in fleet size and investment in marine fisheries and scope for open sea mariculture
Fishing has been considered as a primary livelihood option
since time immemorial, for the occupants of the coastal
belt in India, stretching along 8129 kms. Fisheries play a
predominant strategic role in the economic activity of
our country by its contribution to national income, food
and employment. It supports the deprived coastal
community and serves as an important foreign exchange
earner contributing substantially to food and nutritional
security. It is also a principal source of livelihood to people
in coastal areas. Fisheries contribute about 1 per cent of
IndiaтАЩs GDP, which forms about 4.12 per cent of the
agricultural GDP (2003-04). The total fish production
during the four decades (1950-51 to 1990-91) showed an
annual average compound growth rate that varied
between 3.35 to 4.62 percent. About 12.2 lakh fisherfolk
operate diverse types of craft-gear combinations with
regional and seasonal variations all along the Indian
coastline. The secondary sector provides employment to
more than 15 lakh people and another one lakh people is
employed in the tertiary sector
