Marine finfish culture using locally available wild
seed is gaining importance in Andhra Pradesh. Fishes
such as Asian seabass, milk fish and different species
of mullets are the major species available in sufficient
quantities in the wild. Understanding the availability
of the wild seeds in the backwaters of Krishna and
West Godavari districts, aquaculture of those fishes
has been established in most of the coastal districts
of Andhra Pradesh. Part- time seed collection
operations are being practiced by fishermen in several
fishing villages from these districts. Traditional
methods of fish seed collection employed are based
on tidal patterns. There are two major methods of
seed collection depending on the location. The fish
seeds are collected using scoop nets during low tide
time from the water pools in the mangroves. The fish
seeds are also collected with drag net or seine net in
the backwaters and sea shore areas. During high tide,
nets are installed with poles, near periphery of the
estuary. The fish seeds get collected in the net during
low tide and when water recedes further they are
collected by the fishermen. The seed collection is
mainly practiced during March to May for Asian
seabass, March to July for milk fish and throughout
the year for mullet. Large scale seed collection is being
followed for Asian sea bass and milk fish.
