While suggesting the possibilities of developing the low lying coastal areas
into artificial marine fish farms, Panikkar (1952) stressed the need for selecting
quick growing species for introduction into Indian waters so that a
profitable yield will be possible within a reasonably short period. Species
of Trichogaster and Tilapia were recommended for this purpose for the
several saline coastal lagoons, more particularly the latter, as it can establish
itself successfully in a variety of environmental conditions satisfying most
of the requirements for culture in salt water. Since then efforts have been
made to introduce the fish in South Indian waters. The first experimental
consignment was brought by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Station
from Thailand with the permission of the Government of India and the
second by the Madras Fisheries Department from Ceylon. The need to
formulate a national policy before the exotic Tilapia is introduced into our
waters had also been pointed out by Panikkar (Ice. cit.) in view of the possible
far-reaching consequences of such introduction without an adequate knowledge
of the various interacting ecological factors.
