Description The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has
initiated aquaculture research on pompano from 2008
and the first successful broodstock development,
induced breeding and larval production was achieved in
2011. Following the successful seed production of silver
pompano, demonstration of farming in brackishwater
ponds was initiated by the CMFRI to popularize among
the farmers about its suitability for aquaculture. The first
farming demonstration from the hatchery produced seed
was carried out in a coastal aquaculture pond at Anthervedi
Village, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh. It has
been proven that silver pompano can be cultured in the
brackishwater shrimp culture ponds as an alternative
species with high survival rate, appreciable FCR and meat
quality. These fishes have attained an average weight of
450 grams in 240 days (8 months).
Based on the experience gained on the brackishwater
farming of silver pompano, the practices to be adopted
for pompano farming are narrated.
