About five hundredth of the whole fish production come from inland fisheries as well as the fresh fisheries.
The fishing season starts from September and ends in March.
The National Fisheries Development Board, has been developed to understand the hidden potential of Fishing sector with the utilization of recent tools of analysis and development including biotechnology.
Strategies for the Fisheries Development
1. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has formed eight fisheries Research Institutes.
2. Refrigeration and cold storage facilities are provided in many states.
3. Coaching centres for Fisheries are established.
4. Fishing farm docks have additionally been established.
5. Varied programmes are launched by the government for the event of inland fisheries.
6. The Indian Council of Agricultural analysis has established 422 district level Fish Farms in different parts.
7. Underneath the Jawahar Rozgar Yojna, village panchayats are authorised to hold out Fisheries development programmes.
8. Underneath the programmes of Development of Model Fishermen Villages, basic civic amenities area unit provided.
9. Brackish Fish Farmers Development Agencies functioning within the coastal area of the country are providing a package of technical, money and extension support to shrimp farmers.
10. Insurance facilities are extended to fishermen for the insurance and security of their life.
11. The governmentof India is assembling knowledge on the micro-climates of varied water bodies to promote fisheries within the country.
12. Development of Fishing Harbours.

Problems and Prospects in Blue Growth
Despite tremendous success within the development of fisheries within the country during the last four decades, pisciculture is facing variety of problems.
1. Most of the fishermen are poor. They are unable to get good equipment to enhance the harvest of fish.
2. The water bodies like lake, rivers, ponds and coastal areas of the sea are increasingly polluted.
3. The area of Paddy field in which fisheries used to be kept is also decreasing under the impact of fast growth of population, industrialization and urbanization.
4. Proper information about the environment of water bodies.
5. Unpredictable nature of monsoon as results of which the inland fisheries suffer adversely.
6. Problem of marketing, storage and transportation.
7. Inadequacy of research and extensive service facilities.
8. There is need of pink revolution which is prawns revolution in the coastal region of the country.

Blue revolution made India second largest producer in fishery sector however inadequacy in the process hindered it’s growth in making India the largest producer worldwide.
