The present book entitled “Innovations in Fishing and Fish Processing Technologies” highlights various aspects of fish genetic resources, advanced mariculture and ornamental fisheries covering major dimensions of harvest and post-harvest technologies in fisheries and fishery extension. It covers the whole gamut of innovative, advanced and cost-effective technologies dealing with recent trends in fish harvesting including responsible fishing, design of improved gears and trawls; development and standardization of various post-harvest techniques, value added product development, hygienic handling; techniques for extraction of biomedical, pharmaceutical and industrial product from aquatic organisms; developing nutraceuticals from rest raw materials;  biotechnological approaches for fish disease diagnostic tools; quality management and maintaining food safety standards; design and development of tools and techniques for harvesting and storage of fishes; effective extension methodologies, value chain management and entrepreneurship development in fishery.

The contents of this book will be highly useful for a wide range of stakeholders in knowledge management, research planning and policy formulations to address the vital issues in the domain of harvest and post-harvest fisheries and deal with the future challenges in the sector, which may help to propel the Indian fisheries to grow further.
