Abstract
Asia has the world's largest fishing fleet, with 3.1 million vessels (68 percent) of all vessels in the world. At an average tonnes per live weight of marine fish landed in India, annual fuel usage in mechanised and motorised vessels is predicted to be 1,378.8 million litres, emitting around 3.13 million tonnes of CO2. Energy efficiency in fishing systems is influenced by the design of fishing gear, vessels, and engines. Climate and oceanic changes are irreversible as a result of the greenhouse effect. Furthermore, rising oil costs may have a significant impact on the economic feasibility of fishing. In light of these consequences, many countries around the world have implemented large-scale energy saving programmes.
