    STUDIES ON SOME ASPECTS OF BIOLOGY AND BODY COMPOSITION OF AN EMERGING FISHERY OF PUFFER FISH, LAGOCEPHALUSINERMIS OFF MANGALORE COAST
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) KISHOR, K. T., B.F.SC
    The fisheries sector is a source of income and livelihood for millions of people around the world. Marine fisheries are increasingly becoming one of the highly globalized sectors of the world economy. Trade in fish represents a significant source of foreign currency earnings, in addition to the sectorâ s important role in employment, income generation and food security. It should be noted that the declining global catch in the last few years, together with the increased percentage of overexploited, depleted or recovering stocks and the decreased proportion of underexploited and moderately exploited species around the world, strengthens the likelihood that the production of wild capture fisheries will not be able to increase unless effective management plans are put in place to rebuild overfished stocks.

    Fisheries, a sunrise sector of our economy, play an important role in the socioeconomic development of India, in view of its contribution to the food basket, nutritional and 0.50 million kmâ of continental shelf area. The estimated annual production potential of marine fishery resources of India is 3.90 million tones presently. The contribution of fisheries sector to GDP has been estimated to be 1.24% (Shyam, 2007). Fish is a cheap source of animal protein, has an annual per capita consumption of 9 kg in India as compared to the 11 kg recommended by WHO The marine fish landing of India in 2009 is estimated as 3.16 million tones. The pelagic fishes constituted 52%, demersal fishes 28%, crustaceans 16% and molluscs 4% of the total landings. The west coast and east coast accounted for 56% and 44% respectively (Anon, 201 Oa). stimulating several subsidiary enterprises.

    AN ASSESSMENT OF STATUS OF EMPOWERMENT OF FISHERWOMEN IN COASTAL KARNATAKA
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2011) MAHESH, V., B.F.SC.
    Fisherwomen contribute substantially to the Indian fisheries economy in general and to the Karnataka State marine economy in particular. Fisherwomen form a invisible workforce but they are dominant in shore based activities such as processing, vending and trading of fish. Studies have revealed that the fisherwomenâ s contribution to the family income was found to be vital and indispensable for the fisher families livelihood. Among fisherwomen, the major fishing-related activities are marketing (41.8 per cent), labour (18.4 per cent) and curing/processing (18 per cent). Further as many as 73.6 per cent of those engaged in marketing are women, .Against this background, the need for studying the empowerment level of fisherwomen, their control over the resources and decision making capacities was felt necessary.
