Andhra Pradesh with a long coastline of 974 km and a continental shelf area of 33,227 km2 is spread over nine districts (Fig.1) and supports a rich fishery constituted by several groups of fishes, crustaceans, molluscs and other marine organisms. In the marine fisheries sector, Andhra Pradesh has always been known for its healthy fishing grounds, diverse resources, variety of crafts and gears, high entrepreneurship and adaptability to new technologies in exploiting the available resources and the sector contributes significantly to the employment generation in the state. The annual total marine fish landing of the state ranged from 1,51,435 t to 2,33,276 t during 1996-2006 and contributed to 7.2 % of the total fish landings of the country. Over the years, marine fisheries sector had witnessed several developmental and technological changes which in turn have resulted in enhanced fish production and utilization. It is envisaged that by 2020, Andhra Pradesh will have a thriving fisheries sector with a targeted annual fish production of over one million tonne (marine and inland fish production), in order to provide nutritional food to the people and to have enough surplus for exports.
