Description The world fish production is around 152 million tonnes supporting the nutritional security of the growing
population of the world. Out of the total fish production, aquaculture contributes around 42%. The capture
fisheries, though intensive efforts are made for exploitation in many cases is static or declining. In some areas
through continuous unregulated over exploitation it has often exceeded the maximum sustainable yield (MSY)
and aquaculture has to necessarily support the fish production. Aquaculture is considered as one of the potential
growth sectors showing annual growth rate between 8 and 10%. and is dominated by Asian countries. The
importance of coastal aquaculture in the context of augmenting fish production, improving rural economy and
productive utilisation of water resources is well-established. The development of coastal aquaculture received
attention since certain fish stocks in the marine capture fishery indicated optimum level of exploitation, and
their catch returns, despite increased efforts, showed declining trend. Following this, national Institutes concerned
with research and development of marine and brackishwater fisheries, initiated investigations on coastal
aquaculture such suitable organisms.
