Description The Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute (ICAR-CMFRI) on Thursday said it has
developed a hatchery technology for picnic seabream
(Acanthopagrus berda), a commercially important marine food
fish.
The CMFRI has described it as a "breakthrough" in
diversification of the country's mariculture activities as it
is expected to open up enormous scope for the countrys
mariculture ventures in near future through species
diversification.
Also known as black seabream and goldsilk seabream,
the fish is known for its excellent meat quality and high
economic value.
It has high demand in the domestic market with a price
of around Rs 450 to 500 per kg.
Locally called as 'karutha yeri', the fish is an
excellent species for mariculture owing to its faster growth
rate, strong resistance to diseases and ability to cope up
with wide variations in environmental parameters such as
salinity and temperature, a CMFRI release said here on
Thursday.
According to Dr A Gopalakrishnan, Director of CMFRI,
with the development of hatchery technology for picnic
seabream, Indian mariculture is poised for a new surge with
exponential increase in marine finfish production.
He said the next task of the institute is to
standardise the farming protocol of the fish as no record of
breeding and aquaculture of this fish is available in in the
country.
