Description In a major breakthrough, scientists of a city-based premier research institute claim to have succeeded in the
mass scale seed production of orange spotted grouper (Epinephelus coiodes), a highly demanded fish species
in the market.
The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) claimed that the achievement is the first-of-its-kind
in India and the hatchery seed production of the species, carried out by the Vishakapatanam Regional Centre
of CMFRI, is expected to boost the sea cage culture enterprises in the country.
The orange spotted grouper is a commercially important carnivorous fish with high market demand in many
parts of the world, scientists said.
Senior Scientist at Vishakapatanam Regional Centre of CMFRI, Shubhadeep Ghosh said the institute made
this achievement after the continuous efforts of scientists and technical staff for the last two years to enhance
the survival rate of the larvae.
"Initial success in seed production of the fish was achieved in 2014, but the survival rate of the larvae was
very low. After manipulating different water quality and feeding protocols, enhanced survival rate with 10 per
cent was achieved this time," he said.
