It gives a comprehensive account of the fishery science, on the one hand, and of present state of Indian fisheries vis-a-vis World fisheries, on the other hand. The treatement offers diverse information, through step-by-step procedures, never before compiled into one volume. The book thoroughly covers all basic information on the subject of fisheries to make the reader up-to-date with the latest in this field where proliferation of scientific information has not only been fast but enormous too in the last decade. One of the principal aims of the book is to present the account in simple language and in straight forward manner, avoiding grotesque phrases, in order to make the reading easy and assimilation quick."
