Fisheries is an important sector in India. It contributes to the national income, exports, food and nutritional security. It provides employment to millions of people. India is the 3rd largest fish producing and 2nd largest aquaculture nation in the world after China. The Blue Revolution in India demonstrated importance of Fisheries and Aquaculture sector. The sector is considered as a sunrise sector and is poised to play a significant role in the Indian economy in near future. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to study the production trend and growth rate for Inland and Marine fish by using statistical techniques. It is observed that there is an increasing trend in production for both Inland and Marine fish. The growth rate has been highest at the level of 11.08 % per annum during 2009-10 to 2019-20 for Inland and 4.54% during 1969-70 to 1979-80 in case of Marine. A Least Square Model has been developed using data from 1994-95 t0 2019-20. The projected fish production for Inland and marine has been worked for 2024-25 and 2029-30. Authors have also suggested the strategies for enhancing the returns of the potato crop and its products through appropriate marketing strategy and trade liberalization. Finally, recommendations for enhancing production have been suggested such as developing micro level database, application of GIS, insurance, marketing strategy, grading, processing, export incentives and credit facilities by government, public sector and private sector involvement.
