Description Aquaculture is one of the most rapidly growing food
producing sectors in the world with a potential to meet the
ever-growing demand for food and nutrition. Aquaculture
production had reached 66.6 million tonnes in 2012 (FAO,
2014) and continues to grow every year. The world food
fish aquaculture production has expanded at an average
annual rate of 6.2% during 2000 - 2012. The Indian
aquaculture scenario too mirrors the global picture, with
an annual growth rate of 6-7% in the last two decades. This
has made lndia the second largest producer of farmed fish
in the world after China.
lndia has transformed an extensive system of aquaculture
into an intensive and commercial enterprise in the last
three decades. Currently, both freshwater and coastal
areas are utilised for aquaculture purposes, with freshwater
aquaculture contributing a major portion in the total
production in lndia (FAO, 2014).
