Description In India, open sea cage culture technology is a new and
relatively recent activity. Understanding the importance of
cage culture, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute
has initiated cage culture as a research and development
activity to identify appropriate design and suitability of cages
under lndian context in the year 2006-07. The first open sea
cage was launched in Bay of Bengal off Visakhapatnam coast
during May 2007, but because of technical problems it failed.
After several modifications, a 15 m cage was launched in
December 2007. This cage was stocked with sea bass and
harvested after 6 months with 75% survival. This was the first
successful harvest from open sea cage in lndia and this
success has given motivation and encouragement to the
researcher and fish farmers. For ease of operation, later 6 m
diameter cages were designed, installed and successfully
demonstrated in several states of lndia with different
commercially important finfishes and shell fishes. Presently,
cage culture has become one of the important fish culture
methods and it is envisaged that this method will help to
enhance marine fish production in India. Success in cage
culture depends on the selection of suitable sites, species and
cage design. Therefore, selection of these parameters play
important role in cage culture.
