India has a rich and diverse fishing industry, with abundant fishing stocks found along its vast coastline and inland water bodies. The country is one of the largest producers of fish in the world, contributing significantly to the global seafood market. Major fishing stocks in India include species like Indian mackerel, pomfret, hilsa, and various types of shrimp and prawns. These are harvested from regions such as the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and freshwater sources like rivers and lakes. The Indian government and local communities are actively involved in sustainable fishing practices to preserve these stocks for future generations, while also boosting the economy through exports and domestic consumption. |
