Overview

India is a country blessed with a long coastline and abundant sea resources. Fishing is thus a very important economic activity for a large section of the population living by the coastline. But fishing resources are not distributed equally at all locations. A lot many factors decide the distribution and availability of fishing resources. A few such factors are salinity, availability of food, sea current, light, physical features at the seabed, environment and surface temperature. Depending upon these variables certain locations will be very suitable for spawning and growing of most marine organisms including fishes, whereas other locations will not be as fortunate. It requires a great deal of study to identify and understand these conditions. The field of fisheries hydrography does just that trying to learn about the oceans, the fishes and their habitats.
