What was India's total fish production in 2024-25?
- A.151.60 lakh tonnes
- B.173.50 lakh tonnes
- C.197.75 lakh tonnes
- D.215.40 lakh tonnes
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 197.75 lakh tonnes. That is the level India's fish production reached in 2024-25. Option A, 151.60 lakh tonnes, is the share that came from inland fisheries alone, close to three-fourths of the national total, and mistaking the inland figure for the whole is the trap this question sets. The quantities in options B and D, 173.50 lakh tonnes and 215.40 lakh tonnes, match no production figure connected with this conclave. The weight of the inland share is the reason a state with no sea coast is hosting a meeting on investment and exports: most of the fish India produces now comes from rivers, reservoirs, tanks and ponds rather than from marine waters. For comparison, the country's seafood exports were valued at Rs 73,890 crore in 2025-26.
