<h1>India Showcases Deep-Sea Resource Potential at Kochi Fish Fest; Focus on Sustainable Marine Harvesting Strategies</h1> India's efforts to explore deep-sea resources have gained public interest at the Fish Fest in Kochi, organized by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). The event features exhibitions, workshops, and discussions on the potential of mesopelagic resources, which are rich in fatty acids and lipids but unsuitable for direct human consumption. These resources offer opportunities for industrial applications and fish meal production, reducing pressure on traditional fish stocks. The initiative aligns with government plans to facilitate marine resource harvesting, emphasizing the need for specialized vessels and management strategies to prevent overexploitation.
