Evolving fisheries business in India with GIS

It can be seen through GIS that there are some states in India where fish consumption is less but production is very high. On teh other hand there are states, specially in North Eastern region, where fish consumption is much higher than production. In such regions, if the government adopts new fishing policy and technology, then production can be increased. The paper contains a thematic map, which is a very useful tool for planners, researchers, and people who are directly involved in fish business. The thematic map is a significant tool which directly explains the real scenario of fish production and consumption at state level
