Description Fish production from the sea in India has almost reached the
optimum level and aquaculture is fast emerging as an alternative
avocation for many coastal rural fisherfolks. India is having about
2 million hectares of potential area suitable for the promotion of
aquaculture. Hardly 10% of the potential area is presently used
for various types of aquaculture practices, concentrating mostly on
shrimp farming mainly due to its high export demand and lucrative
price. But in recent years the demand for several other items such
as clams, mussels, edible oysters, crabs, lobsters and a few
finfishes is continuously increasing and commanding a premium
price in the international market. Hence, there is immense scope to
promote aquaculture of these varieties in our country by adopting
appropriate location-specific farming practices. The economic
viability and comparative profitability of different culture practices
are the determining factors for the investors in their choice, selection
and commercial adoption of various production systems in
aquaculture.
