Tamil Nadu led with 6.85 lakh tonnes, surpassing Gujarat, which declined 15% due to adverse weather and extended fishing bans. Kerala remained third with a slight increase. Indian mackerel was the top species landed, while pelagic fish dominated catches. The sector's economic value rose, reflecting strong demand and improved marketing efficiency.
