Abstract

The new deepsea fishing policy was adopted by the Govt. of India in the year 1991. The policy included initiatives for exploitation and utilisation of deepsea fishery resources within 200 nautical miles Exclusive Economic Zone. The accent of the policy was on increasing the fish production and acquisition of deepsea fishing vessels by the entrepreneurs through the joint ventures and lease arrangement with the foreign collaborators. Apart from the exploitation of resources, the entrepreneurs were permitted under the policy to enter into foreign collaboration for setting up 100% export-oriented units for production, of value added marine products. The fishermen having apprehensions about the operation of joint-venture vessels in the Indian waters resorted to protest against the joint venture during 1994 and 1995. The matter of acquiring requisite technology and appropriate vessels for the purpose of exploitation of the deepsea fishing vessels vis-à-vis the policy on the deepsea fishing has become the subject of review and debate in the context of present day developments in marine fishery sector in the country.
