"Recreational Fisheries Development in India–A study of Economics and Management with Special Reference to Kerala’ is a pioneering attempt to study the potential and to present the strategy for the development of recreational fisheries in Kerala. It unfolds its contents in ten chapters: the first chapter spelling out the background and objectives of writing this book, the second presenting a review of the literature relating to recreational fisheries development, world wide, the third dealing with the economic problem of valuation of recreational fisheries, the fourth outlining the status of recreational fisheries in leading fishing nations, including India, the fifth focussing on the recreational fishery resources of Kerala, the sixth probing into the demand for recreational fishing in Kerala, the seventh dealing with the supply prospects for recreational fishery services in Kerala, the eighth touching upon the (economic and social) viability of recreational fisheries development in Kerala, the ninth elaborating the management strategy to be followed for its development and the last chapter giving the summary of findings and conclusions of the study. The book in its core argues for the development of recreational fisheries in Kerala and prescribes management measures for realising this goal. It holds that development of recreational fisheries can contribute to the regional economy of the state through its linkages with tourism development and also help in the preservation of the ecology and culture of the landscape adjoining the rivers, reservoirs and backwaters of Kerala. The book is rich in its material coverage and bibliographic content. Being the first of its kind in India and probably at the international level as well, it should be of much interest to tourism planners, academics and others interested in the subject."
