    SUITABILITY AND EFFECT OF SOIL AND WATER QUALITY ON GROWTH OF Litopenaeus vannamei
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2014) MOHANKUMAR K. C., B.F.Sc.
    Fisheries in India is very important economic activity and a flourishing sector with varied resources and potentials. Only after the Indian Independence, has fisheries together with agriculture been recognized as an important sector. The vibrancy of the sector can be visualized by the 11 fold increase that India achieved in fish production just six decades, i.e. from 0.75 million tonnes in 1950-51 to 9.6 million tonnes during 2012- 13. This resulted in an unparalleled average annual growth rate of over 4.5 percent over the years which have placed the cormtry on the forefront of global fish production, only after China. Besides meeting the domestic needs, the dependence of over 14.5 million people on fisheries activities for their livelihood and foreign exchange earnings to the tune of US$ 3.51 billion (2012-13) from fish and fishery products, amply justifies the importance of the sector on the country's economy and in livelihood security. India is also an important country that produces fish through aquaculture in the world. India is home to more than 10 percent of the global fish diversity. Presently, the country ranks second in the world in total fish production with an annual fish production of about 9.06 million metric tonnes (Anon, 2013).

    STUDIES ON THE RING NET FISHING OFF UPPUNDA (UDUPI DISTRICT)
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2013) SARANYA, P., B.F.Sc
    India is endowed with vast fisheries resources in terms of a coastline of 8129 km and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq km. It has a significant marine fisheries sector that has long been an important source of occupation and livelihood for the coastal communities of the country. There are more than 3 million people deriving their livelihood by marine capture fisheries from about 3202 marine fishing villages located all along the Indian coastline. The annual potential yield from the EEZ of India has been estimated as 3.93 million metric ton (mmt) of which 2.24 mmt is from the zone up to 50 m depth and 1.69 mmt in deeper waters (Ayyappan, 2011). The marine fish landings of India during the year 2012 registered an all time high of 3.94 mmt compared to 3.82 mmt during 2011 showing 3.84% growth. The mechanized, motorized and non-motorized vessels contributed 78%, 20% and 2% respectively to the total marine production in India during the year 2012 (Anon, 2013). A wide range of fishing gears, including trawls, seines, gill nets, lines, bag nets, stake nets and lift nets are being operated in the Indian coast.

    STUDIES ON PURSE SEINE FISHING OFF MANGALORE COAST
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2014) MANJUNATHA, A.R., B.F.Sc
    The marine fisheries sector plays an important role in the IndiaĆ¢ s socioeconomics. It provides employment, livelihood support to the fisher-folk and protein rich food security to the populations. India ranks second in Asia and rank 7* among the top ten countries of the world in marine fish production (FAO, 2014). IndiaĆ¢ s coastline is -8,129 km, with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million km and a continental shelf A of 0.5 million km (Srinath, 2004). This provides the nation a greater access to a rich marine living and non-living resuources. Fisheries research in the field of harvesting and post-harvesting technology has not only resulted in increased catch but also have paved way for its better utilization
