Description
'Geography is a multidisciplinary subject, and is gaining much importance. Geography ha:\nbecome an extremely varied, versatile and high empirical discipline, and its area of study has\ngrown a great deal since its inception. Harvey (1969) opines that geography is concerned with\nthe description and explanation of the areal differentiation on the earth\'s surface Growing\nhuman population is responsible for increasing demand for resources. The available resources\nare scarce in nature, on the one hand, and the population is growing rapidly on the other.\nHence, it is the need of the hour to adopt the optimum utilization concept for effective\nconservation and management of resources.\nFish has become an important source of food for many centuries. Even today it is also the\nprime source of food substances in many coastal countries in the world. Earlier fish capturing\nwas practiced by man with traditional methods. Today, the modern means of technology are\nat man\'s disposal. As a result, modernization has been adopted along with traditional\nmethods. Mechanization is adopted only in marine fishing, and traditional methods are\npracticed not only in aquaculture but also in marine fishing activities. The high level\nmechanization is found in the technically advanced countries and viceversa.\nFishing is one of the extractive occupations of man. It is older than agriculture. Fish provides\nthe easiest available food for man. However, fishing is unusually difficult and does not provide\nlively hood for many people. It hardly absorbs less than 2 percent of the worlds labour force.\nFish provides an inexhaustible source of food supply due to its incredible capacity for\nmultiplying. Thus, marine life has to play an important role as a domestic food of man kind in\nfuture, whatever the pressure of population. This book is the net outcome of research work\nPh.D. thesis submitted to Karnataka University Dharwad. Hope this book would be useful to\nthestudents community at UG and PG level of all disciplinesand publicin general.' Read more
