Description As apex predators in the oceans, marine mammals play a key
role in the marine food web dynamics and ecosystem balance.
As they are affected by fishery (by-catch in fishing gears,
collision with fishing vessels) and non-fishery (climate change,
hunting, habitat degradation) factors, their conservation and
management becomes complex. Globally, species specific
database on marine mammals is scanty and the lead article
in this issue of MFIS, takes a look at the taxonomic issues
of marine mammals in the Indian EEZ which is vital for
formulating their stock management strategies. Seaweeds
are highly valued marine resources traditionally used as
food in several Asian countries. They are also used as raw
materal for the extraction of phycocolloids, critical inputs
for several industries including pharmaceutical, cosmetic
and food processing. Seaweed farming is to be faclitated by
mapping of the potential sites which is highlighted in a recent
study conducted in all maritime states of India . Open sea
cage farming of cobia has become very popular among fish
farmers, especially on the south east coast of India. Hence
the focus shifts to healthy animal husbandry practices and
disease prevention in aquaculture systems which is detailed
in an article on fish vaccines developed and tested in cobia
cage farms in Gulf of Mannar. In the face of the COVID 19
pandemic that played out in the year 2020, marine fisheries
sector faced numerous challenges and it is reassuring that
the stakeholder community successfully addressed most of
these concerns.
