Correct Answer

B and E only

Fish production from inland sources contributes about 64 per cent to the total fish production and the balance 36 per cent comes from the marine sector (sea and oceans)
A large share of fishworker families are poor. Rampant underemployment, low per capita earnings, absence of mobility of labour to other sectors and a high rate of illiteracy and indebtedness are some of the major problems fishing community face today.
Even though women are not involved in active fishing, about 60 per cent of the workforce in export marketing and 40 per cent in internal marketing are women.
Today total fish production accounts for 0.8 per cent of the total GDP.
