Abstract
The book “Cage Aquaculture in India”
authored by Drs. G. Syda Rao, Imelda Joseph,
K.K. Philipose and M. Suresh Kumar was published
by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute
(CMFRI) is a monumental work by the authors
and first comprehensive publication on the
subject. Enclosed fresh and brackish water bodies
such as ponds being fully or in some cases overexploited
creating environmental problems, the
world is looking to farming of fish in open waters
whether they be fresh or marine to meet the
increasing demand for fish not only in India, but
also all over the world. Cage farming of fish in
freshwater fish started sometime back in India
on a small-scale but for various reasons could
not take off on a commercial scale
