The advancements made in the fisheries sector in India in recent years have been significant. Improvements in vessel refinements, new line materials, and line-handling systems, as well as the use of satellite technology to locate potential fishing grounds, have increased the fishing power of longline vessels. Additionally, post-harvest technology has evolved to become more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and capable of upgrading the quality of fish. The development of technology for post-harvest preservation and the conversion of fish to value-added products has also become popular in recent times, as fresh fish can spoil quickly.Value addition is crucial for obtaining high prices for fishery products. It is necessary to develop skilled human resources in the field of post-harvest management of fish and the production of value-added products. Vocational and entrepreneurial skills must be inculcated to widen employment opportunities, particularly among rural youth and disadvantaged sections of society, and to enable self-employment.
