Fish Craft
Fish craft refers to fishing vessels and boats used for marine and inland fishing operations. These include mechanized, motorized, and non-motorized crafts employed by fishers for harvesting fish and other aquatic resources.
The Fisheries Department is responsible for the registration, regulation, and monitoring of fish crafts to ensure safe, efficient, and sustainable fishing practices. The Department promotes the use of standardized and sea-worthy vessels equipped with essential safety and navigation equipment.
Various schemes and facilities are implemented to support modernization, upgradation, and replacement of fish crafts, with an emphasis on fuel efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability. Compliance with prescribed norms, documentation, and operational guidelines is mandatory for all registered fish crafts.
