Growth and Instability of Inland Fish Production in India

Abstract

The growth value of inland fish production during
1995-2014 was significant in almost all states in the
country. During 2005-14, the annual growth rate in
inland fish production was highest and significant
in states of Jharkhand (17.30%) and Andaman &
Nicobar Islands (16.50%). The higher instability of
inland fish production in the states of Andaman &
Nicobar Islands, Goa, Dehli and Mizoram did not
deter from attaining high growth rates. Temporal
changes in inland fish production declined in six
states viz., Arunachal Pradesh, Delhi, Goa Gujarat,
and Madhya Pradesh during the 2005-14 compared
to previous period. However, high up and down in
the inland fish production during 2005-14 was
noticed in all the states. High growth and high
instability in the production of inland fish during
the current decade needs special attention of the
policy makers and researchers.
