INTRODUCTION

Karnataka state emerged as a maritime State in 1956 with the reorganization of the states.

An independent Department of Fisheries was set up in 1957. Since then, the Department of

Fisheries has been consistently striving hard for overall development of fisheries and of fishermen

by implementing several development schemes both in Marine and Inland sectors.The fisheries sector plays an important role in the socio economic development of State, in

view of its contribution to the food basket, nutritional security, large foreign exchange earnings,

employment generation and income.

The fish production in Karnataka was around 2.0 lakh tons in early eighties and reached to

a peak of over 3.0 lakh tons in mid nineties. The average fish production in the last 5 years is about

3.00 lakh tons with the contribution of Marine sector being 60 % and Inland sector 40%. The fish

production from the state contributed about 4.8 % of Indias total fish production. The current

level of per-capita fish availability in the state is 6.8 kg.

The contribution of Fisheries Sector to GSDP at current prices during 1993-94 was Rs

16,316 lakh and it has increased to Rs 139511 lakh in 2008-09.

1.1. Marine Fisheries

The State has 300 km of coastline and 27,000 sq km of continental shelf area, rich in

pelagic fishery resources. Out of the Indian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sqkm, Karnataka has a share of 87,000 sq km. Traditionally, Karnataka coast is known as

Mackerel Coast. The marine fisheries resource potential of the State is estimated at 4.25 lakh

metric tons, of which 2.25 lakh metric tons from inshore areas up to a depth of 70 m and

remaining 2.0 lakh metric tons from the off shore/deep sea zone.

The pelagic fishery wealth of Karnataka coast, mainly comprising mackerel and oil sardine,

used to be traditionally harvested by operating shore seine known as "Rampani". But this method

has now become almost obsolete. The mechanization of fishing operation was initiated with the

introduction of 30 - 46 ft. trawlers in 1957 for exploiting inshore demersal fishery including

shrimps. Introduction of purse seines in 1970s extended the area of fishing operation and for

shoaling pelagic fish. Motorization of traditional crafts like gill- netters and long- liners and

encouragement of off shore fishing beyond 50 meters depth using bigger vessels for a duration of

7-8 days, have effectively increased the range and efforts of fishing operations. Further, financial

institutions have extended the required loan facilities for acquiring fishing boats, which has helped

in increasing the fleet strength. At present, there are about 3759 mechanized, 5357 motorized and

21659 traditional boats operating in the State. There are 6 fishing harbours and 25 fish landing

centre in the state. In recent years, fishermen are being trained in operation of sophisticated

electronic equipments both for fishing and navigation.

Marine fish production from Karnataka coast has shown considerable variation. The fish

production during 2008-09 was 2.18 lakh metric tons and 33000 metric tons of marine products worth

Rs.264.00 crore were exported from the State.

At present there are 187 ice plants with a capacity of 2807 metric tons of ice per day, 27

cold storages with a capacity of 2056 metric tons, 13 freezing plants with a capacity of 79.5 metric

tons per day, 11 frozen storages with a capacity of 1653 metric tons, 8 canning plants with a

capacity of 528 metric tons and 20 fish meal plants with a capacity of 415 metric tons in three

coastal districts.

1.2. Inland Fisheries

The State has 5.60 lakh ha of inland water resources, comprising 1.72 lakh ha of

departmental tanks (3399 no.), 1.21 lakh ha of Gram Panchayat tanks (24624 no.), 2.67 lakh ha of

reservoirs (82 no.) besides 5813 km length of rivers, 3187 km length of canals and 2000 ha. of

private fish culture ponds, which provide immense scope for development of inland fisheries. The

annual estimated fish potential of these resources is around 2.75 lakh metric tons. At present, there

are 37 ice plants with a capacity of 248 metric tons per day, 13 cold storage plants with storing

capacity of 945 metric tons and 1 frozen storage plant with a storage capacity of 2 metric tons.

During the period between 1956 and 1966, the important activity in the inland sector was to

import fish seed, mostly riverine major carp fry collections, from West Bengal. Fish seed

production and rearing farms have been set up in the Government sector with a view to develop the

much needed infrastructure for producing fish seed for stocking in tanks, ponds and reservoirs of

the State. At present, there are 55 fish seed production and rearing farms under the control of State

Department, Zilla Panchayat and Fish Farmers Development Agencies. The State requires about

46 crore fish seed to develop all water resources suitable for fish culture. The present annual fish

seed production capacity of the State is about 24 crore fry per annum.

Tank fishery development plays a strategic role in providing employment to the rural folk.

The fish produced by them provides livelihood or additional income to them. The fishery rights of

the tanks with achcut of more than 40 ha are vested with the Fisheries department. These water

bodies are disposed of either by lease or tender cum auction. As per the Govt. Order No/

RDPR/165/ZPS/2002 dated 1-3-2004 tanks up to 40 ha achcut area has been transferred to the

respective Gram Panchayats for disposal of fishery rights and development of fisheries.
