The coastal and marine (C&M) ecosystems viz., estuaries, mudflats, backwaters and lagoons and other sensitive ecosystems such as mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds are amongst the most biologically and economically productive ecosystems in India. These ecosystems are a source of livelihood and play a significant role in providing food, nutritional and health security and in reducing poverty, besides providing a range of ecological services that are critical for human well-being. Fin and shell fishes constitute one of the main components of C&M biodiversity and hence mainstreaming biodiversity conservation into fisheries policies, programmes and plans and vice versa is a key to sustaining the habitats that serve as feeding, spawning and nursing sites 1 for the fisheries wealth of the country. The significant growth in fish consumption has enhanced people’s diets around the world through diversified and nutritious food. Fish accounts for about 17 percent of the global population’s 2 intake of animal protein and 6.7 percent of all protein consumed. It is the source of three different types of animal protein that includes structural proteins (actin, myosin, tropormyosin), sarcoplasmic proteins (myoalbumin, globulin, enzymes) and connective tissue proteins vital for human health 2 . In addition to being a rich source of easily digestible and high quality protein, it also contains amino acids, fats, vitamins and minerals that are essential for human well-being.
