Values for a Successful Career and Life

Successful career and life depends on how well an individual balance them to achieve maximum satisfaction in life. The values which an individual associate to career/ life based on their judgment help them to choose the appropriate careers or to involve in hobbies or other activities. The value here means the things that you believe as important in the way you live and work. We are often focused on one area of life at the expense of another. We are more successful when we are in balance with every area of lifelike career, family, friends, finance, leisure, health and spirituality. Work life balance brings satisfaction and peace of mind to an individual. Work-life balance is particularly important for women due to the multiple responsibilities they need to handle in everyday life. Women are often blessed with the inherent abilities to perform multiple tasks at a time when compared to men. These qualities might have either achieved during the course of life due to necessity or as an inherent ability. Maintaining work life balance is not an easy job. But heart of balancing can be learned. Sometimes we may have work life conflicts. In extreme cases it becomes necessary to sacrifice one for the other. In these cases choosing the priorities through wise decisions becomes important

Economic performance of cage fish farming

Mariculture has the potential to augment production and incomes through coastal as well as open sea farming. The global aquaculture production increased by about 25 times in the last 30 years when compared to only seven times increase in capture fisheries production during the corresponding period. Mariculture systems include in-shore and off-shore and maintain a constant high saline water conditions. In-shore mariculture systems include clams, oysters and other molluscs, which are wild-caught or hatcheryreared seed grown on the sea floor or on suspended nets, ropes, or other structures. Off-shore mariculture refers to large intensive fisheries in off-shore fish pens

Economic Feasibility and Resource Use Efficiency of Coastal Cage Fish Farming in Kerala

Fish farming in open water cages is a recently introduced technology in India. The successful cage farming demonstrations in the open sea led to its popularisation in the coastal waters in the country. The economic viability of cage fish farming was analysed based on primary data collected from 60 farm units in Kerala state in the South west coast of India. Asian seabass, pearlspot, tilpaia, redsnappers and caranx were the major species cultured in the study area. The average size of a farm unit was 115 m3 with a stocking density of 32 fishes per m3. The gross revenue and average cost were ` 8584 and ` 4331 respectively per m3 of farm area. The Benefit–cost ratio and operating ratios were 2.02 and 0.42 respectively indicating cage farming as an economically viable farming technology. Resource use efficiency analysis indicated that stocking density and quantity of feed used had positive and significant influence on fish production and economic efficiency could be improved by increasing the use of these inputs

Socio-economic impact assessment of monsoon trawl ban on marine fisheries sector of Kerala, India

Considering monsoon trawl ban as one of the important regulatory measures for resource conservation, in Kerala State an analysis was conducted to study the socio-economic impact of trawl ban to marine fisheries sector. Growth and instability in landings in the pre and post ban periods were analysed and the results showed the marine fish landings at a stabilised state with a positive growth rate of 0.108 % and a lower instability index of 11.4 in the post ban period. Analysis of the characteristics of ring seine fishery during ban period showed that nearly 10% of the trawl workers were employed in the ring seine units. The overall employment loss to fishing, fishing related and non-fishing activities during the ban period was assessed and policy suggestions given for alternate employment options for mechanised fisherfolk

Inflation in Marine Fish Price in India: Analysis Using Ex- Vessel Price Indices

Inflation in general and food inflation in particular greatly affects the poor as they spend a large share of their income on food. Analysis of food inflation helps to develop strategies for improving the supply- demand situation. The inflation in marine fish prices were analyzed by developing an aggregate marine fish price index based on the ex-vessel prices of 22 marine fish groups for the period 1995-2014. The growth in landings and value of marine fish in India for the period 1995 to 2014 was also analyzed using compound annual growth rates. The aggregate price index showed the highest increase during 2005-2014 period (129.42%) when compared to 1995-2004 period (106.16%). The compound annual growth rate of marine fish landings was 0.68 % during 1995-2004 period and 5.43 % during 2005-2014 period. The gross value of marine fish deflated based on wholesale price indices (WPI) showed that the growth in real values of marine fish was higher during 2005- 2014 period when compared to 1995-2004 period

Adoption of Small Scale Coastal Cage Fish Farming in the Southwest Coast of India: Opportunities and Challenges

Cage fish farming is an emerging aquaculture technology in India. It is a low impact farming practice with high economic returns. ICAR-CMFRI in India had developed cost effective technologies for cage farming and popularised the technology through front line demonstrations in the marine and coastal waters in the country. We analysed the opportunities and constraints of coastal cage fish farming in Kerala state, in the south west coast of India. Economic indicators of selected farms revealed that cage farming is an economic viable technology in the coastal waters earning an average net profit of USD3,914 and internal rate of return (IRR) of 68%. Coastal water pollution, inadequate financial capital, climate change impacts, high feed cost and lack of insurance facilities were reported as the major constraints in cage fish farming. The study indicated that cage fish farming has great potential for augmenting fish production and coastal livelihoods and emphasized the need for stringent regulations for mitigating coastal water pollution, institutional linkages for financial inclusion and insurance facilities for upscaling the technology

Techno-economic analysis of production and marketing of marine by-products in India

Marine by-products coming under the ancillary products group found many applications in pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. Although many of these products are fetching very high price at the export market, -adequate statistics regarding their current production, marketing and utilisation is lacking. The present analysis deals with the production potential, level of exploitation, uses, export growth rate and potential for the future of some of these marine by-products
