To study the marine products market-wise exports from India to different countries during 2000-01 to 2017-18 and 3. To assess the trend and growth of marine fish production in India, market-wise exports from India and craftwise marine fish production in Tamil Nadu. In order to analyze the trend and growth of marine fish production in India, market-wise exports from India and craft-wise marine fish production in Tamil Nadu over a period, percentage methods, co-efficient of variations, linear trend and compound growth rate have used. The secondary data collected through the internet, books, newspaper, journals records and brochures from 2005 to 2015.
