چکیده

The development of innovative aquaculture methods has led to a significant increase in the contribution of aquatic goods to job opportunities. India has been a significant participant in the aquaculture sector. This study develops an index to measure the amount of upgrading in the fishing industrial structure. It reveals that India's fishery industrial structure is experiencing an upward trend in upgrading. However, the level of upgrading in inland fishery areas is higher than that in coastal areas as several government initiatives aimed at improving the industrial structure of the fisheries sector in this region, indicating that the fishery industry in coastal regions is still in its early stages of development. This study proposes recommendations for enhancing the development of India's fishing sector by considering its existing state and identifying prospective avenues for sustainable expansion. This review thus provides a comprehensive understanding of the Indian aquaculture sector, focusing on production trends, species diversity, regulatory frameworks, environmental concerns, and socio-economic impacts. It does this by analyzing existing literature and industry reports and highlighting the sector's accomplishments, challenges, and future prospects.
