Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following best explains why small-scale fishers in India remain poor despite high fish production?
Correct
Answer: B. They catch only a small proportion of the total marine output
Explanation: Although small-scale fishers make up 90% of India’s marine fishing population, they harvest only 10% of the total marine catch. This unequal distribution of resources and income results in widespread poverty among these communities, despite high national fish production.

What is a major ecological issue associated with shrimp trawling in India?
Correct
Answer: B. It helps in reducing juvenile fish populations
Explanation: Shrimp trawling often uses sub-legal mesh sizes (<25 mm), which capture juvenile fish, thereby preventing them from maturing and reproducing. This undermines future stock regeneration and contributes to the long-term depletion of fish populations.

Why do state-level fisheries laws in India hinder effective regulation?
Correct
Answer: C. They are fragmented and vary across states
Explanation: Each coastal state/UT in India has its own Marine Fisheries Regulation Act (MFRA). This fragmentation allows fishers to exploit legal loopholes—such as landing catch in neighboring states where regulations are weaker—thereby undermining conservation efforts.

Which reform successfully improved fish catch in Kerala?
Correct
Answer: C. Implementing Minimum Legal Size (MLS) regulations
Explanation: Kerala implemented MLS for threadfin bream in 2017. This regulation led to a 41% increase in catch in a single season, showing that allowing fish to reach maturity before being caught supports both ecological and economic sustainability.
