Question

Intensive fishing is practised along the coast of Andhra Pradesh. Give any two reasons to justify this statement.

Answer 1

The Andhra Pradesh coast is home to extensive fisheries because:

1. The prevalence of warm currents in Andhra Pradesh's coastal waters supports a wide variety of fish species that are suited for intense fishing, contributing to the state's rich marine biodiversity.
2. The state government supports intense fishing practices by creating laws and subsidies that promote fishing, building infrastructure for fishing harbours, and developing marketing plans.
