Carbon emissions from Indian marine sector lower than global average: CMFRI Research Study

The carbon emissions from the Indian marine fisheries sector is much lower than the global level, an ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) research study said. In a research in assessing the carbon footprint in India's marine fisheries, the ICAR-CMFRI has estimated that the sector emits 1.32 tonnes of CO2 to produce one tonne of fish, which is lower than the global average of more than two tonnes for the same quantity.
