It is now recognised that migration is an integral part of the survival strategies of the poor; especially where local economics offer limited livelihood alternatives. Intervention strategies should, therefore, be directed at reducing the vulnerability of migrants, not at reducing migration itself. Migration has become a key facet of today’s world. Migrants living outside their country of birth are 191 million. Migratory behaviour is of two types, outward migration and inward migration. Outward migration is defined as the movement of labourers outside their revenue villages to seek employment opportunities available elsewhere and inward migration is the movement of labourers into the native villages from any other place in search of any feasible work according to their capacity/ potential. However, the migration of labourers from the agricultural sector to the fisheries sector is a grave economic problem affecting both the agrarian and fisheries economy. On one hand it causes labour displacement in the agrarian sector and on the other it leads to labour gain in the fisheries sector.
