| The GIS is a computer-built system that input, stock, regain, examine and show geographically referenced information which is useful for taking designs which are related to aquaculture. The data about water, land mapping, disease monitoring, species ecology, pollution management, inland capture fisheries management, mapping of aquatic species, management of water resources, collection of data like suspended sediment, algal bloom of slick, etc is important in aquaculture to get optimum outcome. This data can be obtained easily through the geographical information system (GIS) and remote sensing. Application of remote sensing in aquaculture has a vast scope in India as it helps in efficient decision making based on various scenarios. GIS and remote sensing technology provide high quality output. In aquaculture, site selection plays important role to achieve great outcome. The final data can be achieved by combining all the factors of the site selection. Obtaining data from GIS and remote sensing is also less expensive. Therefore, it will be more beneficial for farmers to achieve great outcome by using such kind of techniques. By using such techniques, farmers can secure their financial status. The study examines the significance, necessity, and applications of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System in the Indian aquaculture. The gap and the potential of remote sensing and GIS for the sustainable development of aquaculture in India has been studied.
