Description In Andhra Pradesh, India, the culture of marine finfishes
such as Indian pompano and Asian seabass has been
demonstrated in cages in Krishna and Godavari backwaters by the Regional Centre, ICAR-Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI), Visakhapatnam, involving fishermen and marginal landless aqua
farmers. Open sea cage culture of orange-spotted grouper and Indian pompano has also been demonstrated in
Visakhapatnam, Srikakulam and East Godavari districts
of Andhra Pradesh. From the 14 success stories documented, enhancement in net income in the range 50.32%–
257.14% was evident by transforming people from different avocations such as agriculturists, wage earners in
agriculture and allied sectors, business professionals,
fish traders, traditional fish farmers and artisanal fishers
to marine finfish farming. The benefit ratio of cage farming among the adopted farmers was found to be 1.33
and 1.31 for estuarine and marine cages respectively.
The impact was realized on livelihood enhancement due
to the technological interventions of cage culture under
the technological, social and economic dimensions.
