Title Micro-agriculture techniques for the sustainable production of
live feed organisms in the laboratory

Subject Live Feed Culture
 
Description Indian coastal waters harbour diverse groups of
microalgae or phytoplankton such as diatoms,
dinoflagellates, blue green algae, silicoflagellates and
cocolithophores together constituting nearly 95% of
primary production in the marine ecosystem.
In mariculture, these microalgae form the main live
feed organisms during the early developmental stages
of commercially important marine finfishes,
crustaceans and molluscs. Hence marine hatcheries
maintain stock cultures of diatoms and dinoflagellates
for producing mass cultures for feeding requirements.
The marine hatchery complex at Calicut Research
Centre of CMFRI maintains stock cultures of eight
species of live feed organisms
