Game Fishing is also called as “Recreational Fisheries i.e. “Fisheries conducted by individuals primarily for sport but with a possible secondary objective of capturing fish for domestic consumption but not for onward sale”. Thus Recreational Fisheries involves both “Subsistence Fishing” where the catch is consumed and “Leisure Fishing” where the fishes are returned live to the water.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands offer tremendous scope for Sport Fishing activity as a venture of adventure sports. Large numbers of Indian as well as foreign tourists visit the islands for Sport Fishing. The demand for sport fishing activity has led to considerable rise in the fleet of sport fishing vessels in the islands particularly in South Andaman Distric.
