Status and Perspectives in Marine Fisheries Research in India

This Commemorative Volume titled Status and Perspectives in Marine Fisheries Research in India being brought out on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee Year contains 13 papers on marine fisheries. The book addresses aspects of status and perspectives in capture fisheries, biodiversity, stock assessment, mariculture, fishery environment, biotechnology, fishery economics and extension. I am delighted to thank the authors of various chapters for their untiring efforts for preparation of this comprehensive publication. I am confident that publication of this nature will be of immense interest and help to the students, researchers, development workers, planners, policy makers and all those concerned with the development of fisheries. Further, this publication would facilitate evolution of suitable and relevant fisheries management programmes in the Indian perspective
