Seed Production and Cage Culture of Pearl Spot (Etroplus suratensis) Package of Practices Type:1

The pearl spot Etroplus suratensis the State Fish of Kerala is an indigenous cichlid fish distributed along the east and west coasts of India. The pearl spot wealth was about 2,000 tonnes in 2001 in Kerala. In 20 1 I , it decreased to about 300 to 350 tonnes. In addition to its high demand in the local market it has good export market also. Pearl spot is farmed using wild seeds in traditional ponds in Kerala. The average production is about 1 000 kg/ha/year over 8-10 month grow-out period. Pond culture is not recommended for large scale production of the fish. However, culture of this species in cages has shown its potential for monoculture and polyculture with other brackishwaterfishes. Cage culture is the most suitable method to enhance pearl spot production

Souvenir : 5th International Symposium on Cage Aquaculture in Asia

This souvenir is a compilation of invited manuscripts distilling lessons learnt over decades of cumulative experience in marine and inland cage farming, breeding and seed production, nutrition, health and environment management, legislation and policy issues. I congratulate the organisers of the Symposium for facilitating this exchange of knowledge and ideas. I also thank the contributors for giving freely of their time and expertise

മത്സ്യക്കൂടിലെ തിരുത കൃഷി Cage Culture of Grey Mullet (Mugil cephalus)

The farmers for cage culture were selected from the local Panchayat based on their income level, occupation (fishermen) and accessibility to the open backwater. They were provided with fish seed and feed for cage culture operations and were entrusted with the routine maintenance of the cage frame, nets, daily feeding, watch and ward etc. The PPP mode of operation has made the culture a success in the locality and more cages are being installed in the next season with seed input from the group

Economic viability of cage fish farming in India

The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is a premier research institute involved in marine fisheries and mariculture research in the past several decades. The institute has been instrumental in developing noteworthy technologies and policies aimed at augmenting fish production and livelihoods of coastal fisherfolk in the country. In view of the declining catches from the marine capture fisheries, the enormous potential of mariculture need to be tapped for achieving the blue revolution targets. CMFRI has made significant strides in developing and popularising mariculture technologies such as mussel and edible oyster farming, sea weed farming, seed production techniques for high value finfishes and marine ornamental fishes. Cage fish farming is an emerging aquaculture technology in the country developed and popularised by the institute. Development of hatchery technologies of high value finfishes, standardisation of culture protocols as well as successful frontline demonstrations and participatory technology development programmes by the institute paved the way for popularisation of cage fish farming in all the maritime states of the country. Cage fish farming is low impact farming technology with high economic returns which has tremendous scope for employment and income generation for the coastal population in the country. There are at present 3000 cage farm units installed in the marine and coastal waters of the country under the direct technical supervision of CMFRI

Introduction to mariculture techniques: Cage farming

Ideal sites for cage culture are lakes, bays, lagoons, straits and inland seas. Important criteria to be considered in site selection are water current, depth, dissolved oxygen levels, salinity, temperature, pollution etc

Technological advancement in Mariculture in India for production enhancement and sustainability

Mariculture is the farming and husbandry of marine plants and animals in the marine environment. Mariculture produces many high value finfishes and shellfishes (crustaceans, and molluscs - oysters, mussels and clams). As the production from the capture fisheries reached its sustainable limits, mariculture is the next viable alternative for increasing seafood production of the country. Indian coastline offers immense potential for the expansion of mariculture activities. CMFRI through its research programmes over the years has developed technologies for seed production and farming of bivalves, marine pearl oysters, marine food fishes and ornamental fishes, marine crustaceans and seaweeds
