Description Farming of marine fin and shellfish species is an age old practice across the globe
to augment the seafood demand and to supplement the rich protein food. Fin fish
mariculture in India has been a recent initiative and the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute was successful in developing captive breeding and seed
production technique for cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and silver pompano
(Trachinotus blochii). The open sea cages are particularly advantageous for
maintaining the brood stock of potential species for captive breeding. However,
the ecology of the cage farming sites is of paramount importance and should be
conducive for the survival, health and growth of fishes that are farmed. In the present
study, an attempt was made to understand the ecology and biodiversity of the cage
farming area at Mandapam in Gulf of Mannar, south-east coast of India.
