Scientists say changes in ocean climate and increase in marine pollution could be among causes for the drop in fish landings. “We will have to look into the reasons, but changes in ocean conditions and environment issues are being seen as the common factors.

Fish catch across India drops by 5%
Fish lovers across India should brace themselves for some unappetizing news -India's marine catch has dropped by 5% in 2014 compared to 2013, resulting in higher retail prices, reports Sudha Nambudiri. As per estimates by Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, marine landings in India dropped to 3.59 million tonnes against 3.78 MT in 2013. However, the value of marine landings in 2014 based on prices at landing centres touched Rs 31,754 crore, up 8.1% over 2013.
Researchers have found that India's marine catch has dropped by 5% in 2014 when compared to the previous year, resulting in higher retail prices. As per estimates released by Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), the country's marine landings dropped to 3.59 million tonnes (MT) against 3.78 million tonnes (MT) recorded in 2013. Every year 600 to 700 species are landed along the coastal waters of the country and the catch of many popular varieties of fish have dropped.
“The catch of oil sardines which are very popular in Kerala have dropped, so have that of Bombay Duck in Maharashtra and Hilsa Shad in West Bengal,“ said Sathianandan T V , head, fisheries resources assessment division of CMFRI. Among the species that registered a drop are ribbon fish, prawns, croakers and cephalopods like squids, octopuses and cuttlefish.
Scientists say changes in ocean climate and increase in marine pollution could be among causes for the drop in fish landings. “We will have to look into the reasons, but changes in ocean conditions and environment issues are being seen as the common factors. We can't deny that there is pollution in the coastal waters,“ said A Gopalakrishnan, director, CMFRI while releasing the data.
