Developing a framework for ecosystem-based fisheries management in India

One of the world's most huge fisheries assets is the 2.5 million square kilometres of freshwater area. It comprises Southeast Asian ponds and canals, lakes (Victoria, Nyasa, Chilka), and major river systems (Ganga, Nile, Amazon, etc.). In addition, India boasts an abundance of inland fisheries resources, including estuaries, flood plain lakes, marshes, reservoirs, tanks, and ponds. The potential for fish production is enormous because to these resources. One of the few freshwater fish biodiversity hotspots in the world is the North East (NE) area of India, which incorporates the provinces of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, and Sikkim. The water assets in the space are plentiful and different. A structure for biological system based fisheries the executives was made in this examination. NOAA Fisheries uses EBFM to help management partners make better decisions on trade-offs across commercial, recreational, ceremonial science, and management programs.
