Description Mariculture represents an immense opportunity
for food production but remains a largely untapped
farming activity. At present, the contribution of
marine/coastal aquaculture production to the
India’s production (2014) is around 10% (0.49 million
tonnes), in which crustaceans, finfishes and molluscs
contributes 0.386 (7.9%), 0.09 (1.84%) and 0.014
(0.29%) million tonnes (t) respectively. The major
reason for the low production levels in this sector
is that unlike the freshwater sector, the contribution
by the finfish is meagre and mainly limited to
shellfish such as shrimps and prawns.
