Title Utilization of saline mud flats for fish
culture-An experiment in marine
fish farming
 
Creator Tampi, P R S
 
Subject Mariculture
 
Description The scope for economically feasible fish farms in brackish water areas in
India has long been realised and practically demonstrated by the numerous
fish and prawn farms adjoining the backwaters of Cochin along the west
coast. Apart from these even some of the other low-lying saline coastal mud
flats of the south-east coast of the Indian Peninsula, which periodically get
flooded with sea water but usually with a relatively low biological productivity
owing to certain inherent ecological drawbacks, also show potentialities
for development. Attempts at fish culture in similar marine environments
have not been many in this country except for the earlier enterprises
by the Madras Fisheries Department as reviewed by Chacko and Mahadevan
(1956). A project was recently undertaken at the Central Marine Fisheries
Research Station in order to determine to what extent these apparently low
productive areas can be brought under more effective utilization for fish
culture purposes and the preliminary results are given in this account.
