2. Introduction
• India has about 8129 Km. of coastal line and nearly
2.02 million Sq Km of Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ)
and half a million Sq Km. of Continental Shelf.
• Various ecosystems of coastal area including estuary,
coral reefs, marshes, mangroves, lagoons, rocky and
sandy areas.
• The geographic territory of India is an integral part of
Central Indian Ocean Region consisting of three distinct
marine ecosystem zones such as the Arabian Sea, Bay
of Bengal and Indian Ocean.
• The Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gulf of Mannar, Gulf
of Kachchh and Lakshadweep also fall within the
marine waters of EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) of
India.
• Indian marine fisheries potential is estimated at 5.31
million tonnes.

4. Cont...
• Marine fisheries in India is a multi-species fishery.
• Around 1400 finfish species are harvested from the sea of
which 263 are commercially important.
• Apart from this 36 species of penaeid shrimps and 34 species
of cephalopods are also harvested in which 15 species of
penaeids and 8 species of cephalopos are commercially
important.
• The marine fauna found in the Indian Ocean consists of
sponges, worms, crabs, mollusks, sea urchins, brittle stars,
starfish, and small but exceedingly brightly colored reef fish
etc.
• Among the fishes, the most abundant ones are several
species of flying fish, luminous anchovies, lantern fish, large
and small tunnies, sailfish, and various types of sharks.
• Sea turtles and large marine mammals such as dugongs,
toothed and baleen whales, dolphins, and seals are found in
various places.

Types of Marine Resources
• Marine resources are divided into three categories:
• Biotic resources (eg. fishes, sharks, turtles, marine mammals etc.)
• Abiotic resources (eg. mineral and energy)
• Commercial resources (eg. navigation, aviation, trade and transport etc.)
Types of Marine Ecosystems in India
• India has all the types of marine ecosystems present in the world such as:
• Coral Ecosystem – These provide shelter and food to thousands of marine flora and
fauna.
• Mangrove Ecosystem – These reduce coastal erosion. They are a source of wood
products and act as a nursery ground for marine products.
• Seaweed Ecosystem – They contain trace elements, vitamins, minerals, proteins,
iodine etc.
• Estuary Ecosystem – They act as feeding and nursery ground for several marine
species.
• Pelagic Ecosystem – They are the most productive of all the ecosystem. Pelagic is
the upper portion of the sea water column where different types of marine
organisms live.
• Benthic Ecosystem – This is deeper part of the ocean where sunlight does not
reach. Millions of bacteria and animals live in this part. Productivity in this
ecosystem is less than that compared to Pelagic Ecosystem.
