Description Until recently, monoculture of either Penaeus monodon or Litopenaeus vannamei was the major mariculture species in India. However,
due to disease setbacks, there was an extensive push from national R&D institutions to develop new-age mariculture technologies.
This led to the first successful demonstration of open sea cage farming along the south-east coast of India, and subsequently,
various marine finfish and shellfish mariculture sites were set up along the country’s coastline. A few bottlenecks remain, particularly
regarding commercial seed production, species-specific feed formulations and comprehensive sea space management plans, but
R & D on breeding and seed production technologies for candidate species continues apace to support the imminent expansion of
sustainable mariculture in the country.
