Since the Independence of 1947, Indian fisheries have dramatically changed from subsistence fisheries to commercial fisheries. In this process, the main fishery activity was transformed from capture to aquaculture. As an especially noteworthy phenomenon in the modernization processes of fisheries, the shrimp aquaculture industry has developed remarkably by engaging in global value chains, thereby contributing greatly to India's foreign exchange earnings. We can also observe upgrading movements in terms of product quality and varieties of shrimps, as well as production processes, although these upgrading movements still lag behind those of Thailand or Vietnam. However, it is also true that the deepening process of specializing in vannamei shrimp aquaculture for export since 2000 has developed as an enclave economy that has no connection with the development of domestic markets.
