Abstract

Though India is rich in knowledge resources on fisheries, there are various constraints in its management and use. For sustainable development of fisheries sector there is an urgency to ensure flow of information to all in the sector especially to the grass root stakeholders – the rural communities. The available knowledge resources remain in different languages and formats under different authorities scattered over a wide geographical area uncoordinated. A resource sharing system, which can address the information requirements and problems for access prevailing in the sector, is an urgent necessity. The study suggests establishment of a Fisheries Information System Network (FISNet), with a Central Institute of Fisheries Informatics as its central Hub. It discusses in detail the network model, architecture, components, standards, procedures, formats, network backbone, use of cloud computing, partners, pre-requisites, execution, etc which can serve as guidelines for those involved
