“Karimeen’’, which is also known as 'Peari spot fish’, is one of the most
important fish species in Kerala. Even though it was officially announced as
the 'State Fish of Kerala' in only the year 2010, karimeen is the most
influential fish in the lifestyle of Kerala. Karimeen is highly nutritive as food.
Pearl spots have the special ability to live equally in both pure and saline
waters. They are mainly found in rivers, ponds, farm fields, canals and
estuaries. Karnataka and Orissa are the other major states in India, where
karimeen is found. Due to the favouring geographical conditions of the
coastlines in Kerala, almost 10 per cent of the local freshwater fish found in
Kerala are karimeen. With its increasing demand, the price of the fish variety
is also soaring. Apart from the growing demand from local market and
domestic tourism sector, the fish is also exported in large quantity to foreign
markets as well. Though, Kerala produces 2000 tonnes of Karimeen
annually, it is not sufficient to meet the rising demand for 'Kerala Karimeen'
inside and outside the state. This paper presents the different package of
practices of karimeen farming and analyses the economics of the pearl spot
hatchery technology and farming in cages and farms involving monoculture
and polyculture. The analysis in d ic a te s the economic viability of pearl spot as
a candidate species for farming in Kerala, which could provide alternate
vocation and good remuneration to the fishers.
