Mariculture
 
Description Mariculture holds tremendous potential for fulfilling the demand of fish, as a source of dietary
protein in the country. Keeping this in hindsight, ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, for
the past several years has been trying to transform the mariculture sector of the country. In India, the
potential coastal water area available for mariculture includes about 8.9 million ha of inshore waters
for open-sea farming and 1.7 million ha of estuaries, backwaters, brackishwater lakes and swamps.
High valued finfishes, crustaceans, molluscs, seaweeds and other marine organisms, possessing
high reproductive capacity, short larval development, fast rate of growth, and physiological features
to adjust to wide changes in the environment are available in our coastal waters. A large number of
unemployed and under-employed fishermen exists who could advantageously take up coastal
aquaculture.
