Discussion
Which of the following factors are responsible for India's failure to fully exploit the inland fisheries during the last five decades?
1. Silting and pollution of the inland water bodies
2. Deforestation in the catchment areas of the rivers
3. Lack of marketing facilities
Select the correct answer from the codes given below
Answer: C
I and III - silting and pollution of the water bodies, and the lack of marketing facilities.
Industrial effluent and sewage have made many rivers and tanks unfit for fish, while silting has reduced their depth. Without cold storage and transport, the catch cannot reach distant markets, so there is little incentive to expand production.
