1. INTRODUCTION
Fishery Survey of India (FSI) is the nodal agency of the Govt. of India responsible for carryingoutsurvey,assessmentandmonitoringof thefisheryresourcesof theIndian EEZ and generating vital information for the sustainable exploitation of fisheryresources.Besidesimplementationoftheregularsurveyprojects,theFSIhasalsocarriedoutdiversifiedfishingmethodsincludingexperimentalfishingonmeshselectivityandcomparativestudiestounderstandefficiencyofgears.TheFSIhasalsoplayedakeyroleinpopularizationofmodernfishingmethodsinthemaritimestates.
This Annual Report presents the highlights of the ongoing survey and allied activities accomplished during the year 2013-14. While accomplishing this task, the Institute also conducted regional workshops, open-houses, street plays and marine exhibitions etc.forthebenefitofthefishermen,thefishingindustryandtheend-usersasapartofthe extension activities in all the maritime states. The Institute has also been acting as an interface between the Ministry of Agriculture and the State Fisheries Departments incollectionofthemarinefishlandingdatabythewayofprovidingtrainingtothestatefisheryofficialsanddataenumeratorsunderCSSprogramme.
Duringtheyear,2013-14FSIconductedtrainingonlatesttechniquemonofilament&multifilamentofthetunalongliningforfishermenwithfinancialsupportfromNationalFisheries Development Board (NFDB), Hyderabad. The Institute continued to impart training to the students sponsored by the CIFNET, Kochi on board survey vessels on tenure basis as well as the pass out students of CIFNET on casual basis.The Institute also conducted 6 training-cum-workshops on Strengthening of Data collection and Fish Taxonomy during the year in various maritime states /UTs.
During the year under report, 11 vessels of the Institute collectively achieved 1071 days out at sea expending a sampling effort of 1711 hours and 155010 hooks. The incidentalfishcatchduringthesurveywas46.38tonnes,realizingarevenueof̀ 10.56 lakhs as the sale proceeds. The budget grant of the Institute for the year 2013-14 was `45.06 crore and the expenditure was `44.54 crores.

Dominance of nemipterids, mackerel and karikkadi shrimps (P. stylifera) in the demersal fauna were noticed during the monsoon seasons.
Swimming crabs, C. Smithii was caught in huge quantities during the northeast monsoon season.

12.1 Inter-institutional projects Jointly with other national institutes, Fishery Survey of India participated in the implementation of the following Research projects relevant to Marine Fisheriesduring the year under report.
12.1 Utilization Strategy for Oceanic Squids in Arabian Sea: A Value Chain Approach – Natioan Agriculture Innovation Project (NAIP)
Objectives:
† ToestablishanewcommercialjiggingfisheryforoceanicsquidsintheCentralArabian Sea and to determine the resilience of the species to exploitation.
† Initiate sustainability certification of oceanic squid jigging as an eco-labelledFishery.
† Develop protocols for onboard preservation and processing of oceanic squids and to enhance organoleptic characteristics of oceanic squids.
† Develop value added products from oceanic squid such as squid surmi and balls and efficient utilization of squid processing waste by developing by-productsuchasfishmealandchitosan
† Determine the techno-economic feasibility of commercial distant water squid jiggingoperations.
† Formulate Model bankable project/scheme on distant-water squid jiggingsuitableforNABARDtoacceleratetheflowofcreditfromscheduledbanksbyRefinance.
† Develop market intelligence on global oceanic squid markets and products.Develop export and domestic marketing channels through private partnership.
