Title A review of marine finfish culture experiments in India
 
Creator Bensam, P
 
Subject Mariculture
 
Description Although India is blessed with many cultivable marine fin flshes, their
seeds and unpolluted coastal water bodies, commercial culture of this resource
has remained in a primitive condition all along. The traditional
methods practiced in West Bengal, Kerala, Goa, etc. fall short of the advanced
technology developed in countries such as Indonesia, Philippines
and Taiwan. Certain experiments undertaken have revealed that by resorting
to systematic and scientific steps of pond preparation, water management
and selective stocking, the growth and production of most of the
species could be enhanced considerably. However, certain drawbacks
observed in most of the experiments are: lack of published data on the
cost of cultivation, lack of technologies to grow ideal food for species such
as milk fish and to construct and maintain grow-out structures in relation
to the environmental and soil conditions, lack of adequate water supply
to culture facilities and lack of seeds. The paper examines these aspects
and presents suggestions for a more effective approach to solve the problems
as well as to ensure commercial culture of marine fin fishes as a
successful proposition.
