- (a): The State-wise and year-wise details of total fish production in the country during 2018-19 and 2019-20 are furnished at Annexure I. Fish production data for 2020-21 and current year have not been finalized. The State-wise and year-wise details of export of marine products in the country for the last three years and the current  year i.e. from  April  to  September,  2021  (provisional)  as  reported  by  the  Marine  Products  Export Development Authority (MPEDA) are furnished at Annexure II.
- (b)   and (c): No, Sir. The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) being implemented by the Department  of  Fisheries,  Ministry  of  Fisheries,  Animal  Husbandry  and  Dairying  with  a  plethora  of beneficiary-oriented  activities inter-alia ,  envisages  generation  of  about  55  lakhs  direct  and  indirect employment opportunities in fisheries and aquaculture sector over a period of five years. Implementation of the PMMSY has commenced during 2020-21 and the Department of Fisheries since inception of the Scheme has accorded approval of fisheries and aquaculture development proposals to the tune of Rs.5336.96 crores with a central share of Rs.1823.5 crores to States/Union Territories (UTs) and other implementing agencies. An amount of Rs.1223.96 crore has been released to various States/UTs and other implementing agencies during 2020-21 and in the current financial year under the PMMSY. The approved proposals are primarily beneficiary  oriented  aimed  at  employment  generation.  Further,  the  Department  of  Fisheries,  Ministry  of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying is also implementing the Fisheries and Aquaculture Infrastructure Development Fund (FIDF) Scheme with a total fund size of Rs 7522.48 crore under which concessional finance in the form of interest subvention is provided for creation of fisheries and aquaculture infrastructure. Activities approved under FIDF also generate large scale employment opportunities. Average annual  growth  of  Gross  Value  Addition  due  to  the  Fisheries  sector  from  2014-15  to  2019-20  at  constant price (2011-12) is 8.81%, which is supported by investments catalyzed through governmental schemes and programmes.  As  output  is  growing  and  fisheries  is  labor  intensive,  question  of  decline  of  employment opportunities does not arise.
