During 2020, ICAR-CMFRI continued the march towards realizing its scientific vision with a great deal of zeal and vigour. The prestigious Sardar Patel ICAR Outstanding Institution Award 2019 bestowed on us was reason worthy enough for team CMFRI to feel even more responsible towards its national commitments. With this coveted recognition coming our way for the second time, we continue to enjoy a place in the elite club of a very few Institutes in ICAR. As per the assessments made by the Fishery Resource Assessment Division of CMFRI, marine fish landing during the year 2020 stood at 2.73 million tonnes. This was 23.45 % lower than the preceding year owing to loss of fishing days due to the pandemic-induced lock downs. Tamil Nadu leads the tally with 5.59 lakh tonnes contributing 20.5% of the total landings. Gujarat with 5.32 lakh tonnes (19.4% of total, 30% decrease); Karnataka with 3.75 lakh tonnes (13.74% of total, 25% decrease); and Kerala with 3.6 lakh tonnes (13.2% of total, 33.8% decrease). In 2020, lesser sardines became the major resource with a contribution of 2.15 lakh tonnes (7.9% of total) from 72,140 tonnes in 2018. Second largest contributor is Indian Mackerel with 1.79 lakh tonnes followed by Cephalopods with 1.61 tonnes. Gross revenue at the landing centre and market price was estimated as `46962 crores and 67194 cores respectively for the marine fish landings. The respective unit prices were `172.27 and 246.68 per kg. We went on to identify six new marine sponge species of genus Hyatella and described them. An exercise to assess the stock and by-catch of marine mammals and sea turtles along the Indian coast was initiated in collaboration with MPEDA-FSI. CMFRI launched an online GIS interactive spatial map on the vicinity of fish landing centres to COVID-19 hotspots in Kerala. Trade flow maps for different shark commodities have been developed for all the maritime states.
