Total fish production in India in 2020-21 was

• A. 142.56 lakh tonnes
• B. 154.69 lakh tonnes
• C. 162.48 lakh tonnes
• D. 172.60 lakh tonnes

Hint:

India is among the top fish-producing nations globally. Fish production consistently exceeds 150 lakh tonnes annually—track government reports to stay updated with sector trends.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: India's fish production rose steadily through the early 2020s due to aquaculture growth.
Step 2: 142.56 lakh tonnes fits an earlier year and 172.60 lakh tonnes fits a later year in this trend, so both are ruled out for 2020-21.
Step 3: The official figure for 2020-21 is approximately 162.48 lakh tonnes, confirming option (3) is correct.
