Abstract

Karnataka, due to its expansive Arabian Sea littoral, is an essential contributor to the seafood exports of India. The present study examines the fish and fish product exports originating from the state, with a specific focus on processed fish products, primary marine fish exports, and the markets to which they are exported. Although Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia are the leading importers, the sector faces obstacles including infrastructure deficits, climatic changes, and stringent international quality standards. However, prospects are abundant in the fields of aquaculture, value-added products, and brand development. To combat exploitation, an emphasis is placed on sustainable fishing practices, which highlights the significance of community-based management in the preservation of natural resources. The assessment emphasizes the potential of Karnataka and the imperative for novel approaches to sustain its position as a leader in international fish exports.
