  Fisheries provide direct livelihoods to over 20 million fishers and fish farmers.  The fishing industry contributes INR 1.75 lakh crore to the gross value added of India's economy every year. The Indian fishery sector leads the way in terms of export earnings and ranks among the top agricultural commodities exported. Rivers in India flow over 17,000 miles and other water channels cover over 70,000 miles. Marine resources include the Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, as well as many Gulfs and Bays. India is now the third-largest producer of fish and the second largest producer of inland fish in the world. In addition to being a major foreign exchange earner, it is also a source of cheap and nutritious food.
