The coast is facing to the Indian Ocean in Rakhine State, the Bay of Bengal in Ayeyarwaddy Division and the Andaman Sea in Tanintharyi Division. Such a long coastline is stretching along the coastal areas forming almost 228781 square kilometer of continental shelf out of 486000 sq kilometer total marine fisheries where the water is so fertile and enriched with nutrient and plankton. Marine Fisheries

30. Myanmar marine fishery production is about 1.679 million metrics ton in 2008. Majority of marine catch landed from coastal fisheries using bag net, gill net and line fishing. However, off-shore activities by medium size trawlers, purse seiners and long liners are important for marine fishing.The major catch species are Crustacean, Sea bass, Grouper, Snapper, Hilsa, Mackerel, Pomfrets, Scianids, and Threadfin etc. Marine Fisheries
