Which inland water body’s mud crab fishery is being considered for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification in India?
Loktak Lake
Vembanad Lake
Chilika Lake
Pulicat Lake
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Chilika Lake, Asia’s largest brackish water lagoon, has been chosen for a major sustainability milestone with its mud crab fishery nominated for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification. This marks the first time an inland fishery in India is being considered for such a globally recognized eco-label. The certification ensures sustainable fishing practices that preserve biodiversity, maintain healthy fish stocks, and support community livelihoods. A collaborative effort between ICAR-CIFRI and the Chilika Development Authority, this initiative not only boosts the export value of mud crab but also strengthens India’s commitment to responsible fishing under global sustainability standards.
