Orissa State has a coastline of 480 km (8% of the total
coastline of India) spread over the districts of Balasore,
Cuttack, Puri and Ganjam. Balasore is characterised by an
extended continental shelf, tidal areas and extensive river
deltas. The mangrove biodiversity in Balasore and Cuttack
with about 60 varieties of mangroves constitutes most
significantly the second largest mangrove formation in
India. The district houses the maximum number of
fisherfolk families (55%). The fishermen in this area arevery poor and need proper technological upliftment in
gaining better opportunities in the society to improve their
standard of living. Besides, the district has very poor
communication and infrastructure facilities. Thus, with the
funding from National Fisheries Development Board
(NFDB), Hyderabad, Central Marine Fisheries Research
Institute (CMFRI) has selected Balasore as one of the
locations for demonstration of open sea cage culture. The
site selected was at Chaumukh, around 70 km from
Balasore town. The cage site was well protected from direct
wave action and to be on the safer side, mooring was done
at two sites, one in the open sea and another in the nearby
lagoon. During rough weather, cage was de-linked from
the mooring system and relocated at the protected lagoon.
This has helped in saving the cage structure as well as the
stock during the devastating cyclone “Ayila” which hit
Orissa coast during May 2009.
