Abstract

Until 1985, Kerala was unquestionably the biggest fish producer among India’s coastal states. It no longer is today—and statistics show falls in production of 36% for demersal fish and 61% for that equally valuable harvest, shrimps*.During the last ten years. fishermen have protested at this drop in catches, but officialdom did not feel that the situation warranted concern. But this is now no longer the case. Today, scientists, administrators and unions jointly face the sad reality— and the near disaster occasioned by the modernisation of fisheries initiated by the Indo-Norwegian project which was so brilliantly signalled by the Indian Government as a “blue revolution.
