Question

State two reasons for the development of the fish industry in India.

Answer 1

Two reasons for the development of the fish industry in India are:

1. Long Coastline and Rich Inland Water Resources: India has a vast coastline (over 7,500 km) and numerous rivers, lakes, and ponds, providing abundant fishing grounds.
2. High Demand for Fish: Fish is a staple food in many parts of India, and its growing demand supports the expansion of both marine and inland fisheries.
