M arine fishery resources are renewable and limited, therefore management of the harvest of marine fishery resources is necessary for sustained production from the sea. Towards this, it is very much essential to have reliable and updated knowledgebase on status of marine fishery resources, fishing effort expended, number of fishing villages, number of landing centres, fisherfolk population, their educational status, occupational status, infrastructure facilities existing in fishing villages, fishing crafts, fishing gears etc. For generating such information the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Cochin has been periodically conducting frame surveys. The first marine fisheries census was conducted by CMFRI in 1980 with the support of Ministry of Agriculture. Second marine fisheries census on all India basis was conducted during 2005. Dynamic changes have taken place in the fishery and there were many management interventions introduced by the state and central governments from time to time. Changes have also taken place in the crafts and gear, fisherfolk population structure, availability of resources and their spread, infrastructure facilities, educational status etc.
In view of the dynamic nature of the marine fisheries sector, the policies and interventions need to be reviewed periodically. Reliable updated real time data on different aspects of marine fisheries is very much essential for developing suitable policies and interventions. The Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (DAHDF), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India during the 11th five year plan has taken up a central sector scheme on “Strengthening of database and Geographical Information System for fisheries sector”
with Census on Marine Fisheries as one of the components which
was assigned to CMFRI for the second time, considering the expertise
the field level supervisors and enumerators regarding the filling up of different schedules.
Instructions were also prepared and distributed to field level supervisors and enumerators on each item of entry in the schedules. The census was carried out through 2,074 enumerators in 3,288 marine fishing villages and information from 8,64,550 households were collected. The entire operation was carried out under the supervision at different levels by the scientists and technical staff of CMFRI. The schedules used for enumeration were bilingual, both in English and local language.
The final report is in two parts, Part I with information at national level and the Part II is for each maritime state. The scope, time frame, parameters, definitions, type of schedules etc.
are also described in Part I. This document is a consolidated report for the state of Kerala, covering 222 villages along the nine coastal districts, which provides districtwise information on marine fishing villages, fish landing centres, population structure, educational status, socio-economic profile, occupation together with the ownership pattern of crafts and gears among fisherfolk. It is also intended to provide a summary of the crafts in the fishery and the infrastructure facilities available in the marine fishing villages in the state.
It is my pleasure to use this opportunity to thank the DAHDF and the Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) for having trust in CMFRI in its ability to take up the arduous
task of carrying out the National Marine Fishery Census 2010. At this juncture I take the
opportunity to thank the DAHDF for accepting the CMFRI national marine fisheries data (after
reconciliation with states) as the official data of Government of India. I thank the state fisheries
department for extending all the supports for the successful conduct of census. The sincere
and hard work carried out by Fishery Resource Assessment Division staff of CMFRI need
special mention and I thank each one of them. Special thanks are due for all the scientific,
technical and administrative staff who were involved in one way or other in the conduct of
census. Finally, appreciations also go to Dr. K. R. Manmadhan Nair, former Scientist-in-Charge,
Calicut Research Centre and Dr. Rani Mary George, Scientist-in-Charge, Vizhinjam Research
Centre of CMFRI for the support and help rendered in completing this program successfully. I
am sure this report will be of enormous use to all associated with the development of marine
fisheries.
