The Union Territory of Lakshadweep (08 \n00'N and 12 30'N latitudes and 71 00'E and \n74 00'E longitudes), consisting of eleven \ninhabited and 25 uninhabited islands, is \nscattered in the Arabian Sea at about 200- \n400 km from the Malabar Coast.Lakshadweep sea is rich in fishery resources such as the tunas, billfishes \nMar. Fish. Infor. Serv., T&E Ser., No. 187, 2006 2 \npelagic sharks etc., and the other groups \nof food fishes, live baits and ornamental \nfishes.The estimated marine fishery \nresources potential in the Lakshadweep \nwaters are about 63,000 to 1,40,000 tonnes \nof various groups of fish, whereas the \npresent annual production is around 10,000 \nt (10% of the potential).
