This database has been prepared on coastal fisheries resources with the information on status, catch, species (a total of 350 species with systematics, description, size, food and feeding, utilization and gears used for fishing) and technologies for improving fish production in coastal ecosystems. This database is prepared on the information received from the Goa, Karnataka and Gujarat coast. However, it can be updated with the information from the coastal region from time to time. This database is kept simple so that it can be operated from desktop, laptop, and smartphone. The diagnostic characters of the species were procured from secondary sources of information (FishBase, FAO, and SEALIFEBASE). The other components such as food, and feeding, gears used and utilization for the species, is collected through primary data. We are inviting expert comments on the species details and information which will help us to improve the database substantially.
