The Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA) has embarked on a project to utilise tuna resources. It has focused on converting 1,000 fishing vessels to tuna long liners.
There are schemes providing subsidies for conversion of existing fishing vessels to tuna long liners, interest subsidy for resource- specific tuna long liners.A proposal for the development of tuna fishery in Lakshadweep is under consideration. It is expected that India will have a very large efficient and effective fleet of tuna long liners by 2012 and become one of the world leaders in the supply
of tuna especially the high value tuna.
