Unit 10 - Estimation of Total Marine Fish Landings

10.1.Introduction
India has a long coast line of about 8118 km and there are about 1400 landing centres scattered along the coast. The sampling design developed and practiced by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) Kochi provides the estimate for total marine fish landings India. The sampling design adopted for this purpose is ‘stratified multistage random sampling’ with the stratification being done over space and time. Each maritime state is divided into several zones on the basis of geographical consideration and fishing practices.
