English abstract

The fisheries sector plays an important role in the Indian economy. It provides nutritional security, employment and income to the population and foreign exchange to the nation through seafood export. The fisheries production has registered an excellent growth during the past half century in India. Information is a very important constituent for the development of the sector, especially education, extension, research and development. The present study evaluates the information capacity of the aquatic and fisheries institutions in the region of Cochin, Kerala. Cochin is in an advantageous position for the development of the sector. Institutions, small and large numbering more than 20 within the geographical proximity of 6 km radius in Cochin is an added factor for information resource sharing and ventures for the benefit of stakeholders in the region and the country. The present study gives an overview of the institutions in the region with regard to their information resources, services, and dissemination mechanisms. Characterization of these institutions is attempted by considering the presence or absence of certain parameters under the categories of resources, services, infrastructure etc in total is called “Information Capacity”. Study identifies a top ranking institution, which can take lead role in the regional information network activities for aquatic and fisheries sector.
