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 welfare 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, 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 3.0 lakh tons with the contribution of Marine sector being 68 % and
Inland sector 32 % for the year. The fish production from the state contributed about 5.80%
of India’s total fish production for the year 2010-11. The current level of per-capita fish
availability in the state is around 6.8 kg.
The contribution of Fisheries Sector to GSDP at current prices during 1993-94 was
Rs 16,316 lakhs and it has increased to Rs 286273 lakhs in 2012-13
1.1. Marine Fisheries
The State has 320 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 sq km, 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
2
demersal resources including shrimps. Introduction of purse seines in 1970s extended the
area of fishing operation for shoaling pelagic resources. 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 bigger fishing boats, which has helped in increasing the fleet
strength. At present, there are about 2825 mechanized boats (232 purse seiners, 2593
trawlers (including gillnetters), 6335 motorized boats and 6923 traditional boats operating
in the State. There are 8 fishing harbours and 88 fish landing centres 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 2012-13 was 3.57 lakh metric tons and 0.96 lakh metric tons of
marine products worth Rs.854.00 crore were exported from the State.
At present there are 263 ice plants with a capacity of 5609. metric tons of ice
production per day, 49 cold storages with a capacity of 2925 metric tons, 14 freezing plants
with a capacity of 175 metric tons per day, 11 frozen storages with a capacity of 1255
metric tons, 8 canning plants with a capacity of 528.5 metric tons and 21 fish meal plants
with a capacity of 424.5 metric tons per day in three coastal districts.
1.2 Inland Fisheries
The State has 5.65 lakh ha of inland water resources, comprising 1.72 lakh ha
of departmental tanks (3399no.), 1.21 lakh ha of Gram Panchayat tanks (22624 no.), 2.72
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 4.01
lakh metric tons. At present, there are 67 ice plants with a capacity of 316.6 metric tons
per day, 24 cold storage plants with storing capacity of 1020.50 metric tons, 1 freezing
plant with a capacity of 5 metric tons per day and 1 frozen storage plant with a storage
capacity of 2 metric tons in the Inland area.
3
During the period between 1956 and 1966, the important activity in the inland sector
was to import fish seed, mostly riverine major carp fry collection 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 and Zilla Panchayat. The State requires about
56 crore fish seed to develop all water resources (cent percent utilization) suitable for fish
culture. The present annual fish seed production capacity of the State is about 42 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 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
have been transferred to the respective Gram Panchayats for disposal of fishery rights and
development of fisheries.
Immense scope exists for development of inland fisheries with the available
vast inland fisheries resources in Karnataka as shown in Table below

The major programmes initiated under inland fisheries development include
assistance for construction of fish ponds, stocking of grass carp seeds, construction of
ponds in water logged areas, development of fish sanctuaries and intensive fish culture
4
with NFDB assistance etc. From 2009-10 onwards, a new scheme on providing 50%
subsidy for purchase of fish seed and supply of fishery requisite kits worth Rs. 5000 (free
of cost) was introduced. In 2013-14 the subsidy has been enhanced to Rs.10000 under free
distribution of fisheries kits. An ornamental fish production and rearing centre called Aqua
park is also being established at Hesaraghatta, Bangalore Urban district to promote
ornamental fisheries in the state.
In order to develop the much needed infrastructure for producing the required
quantities of fish seed for stocking in tanks, ponds and reservoirs, fish seed production and
rearing farms and taluk-level nurseries have been set up by the Department of Fisheries.
At present, there are 55 fish seed production/rearing farms under the control of the State’s
Department of Fisheries’ and ZillaPanchayats’ and 72 Taluk level nurseries in the State. To
meet increased demand for fish seed, the Government has also encouraged the
establishment of private fish seed production and rearing farms by providing subsidy
earlier. The State requires at least 28.00 crore fingerlings of fish seed to develop 50% water
resources for fish culture. During the year 2012-13 with the NFDB assistance 70 lakh fish
seed has been stocked in tanks and reservoirs at total cost of Rs.72.46 lakhs. Apart from
this, under National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) assistance Rs.194.14 lakhs was
released for construction of fish markets, Rs.4.68 lakhs was released as subsidy for
promotion of culture of Pangasius sp, (Rs. 4.65 has been spent), Rs.2.13 lakhs for
construction of one retail market and the amount has been spent, Rs. 12.65 lakhs for Cold
chain development and amount has been spent. Rs.48.32 lakh was released for
establishment of ornamental fish units, and out of this Rs.11.95 has been spent. Details of
fish seed production in the state is given in the following table.
