Perspective on coastal aquaculture in India
暂无分享,去创建一个
The slow growth rate in marine capture fisheries of the coastal
sector world over, capital intensive and risk prone deep sea
and oceanic harvest coupled with great demand for target
groups for domestic and export markets have created a pressing
necessity to evolve viable options for aquaculture of most
wanted species. Although the aquaculture is rapidly growing
in the Asia-Pacific region, its techno-economic and commercial
viability in Indian condition is yet to be demonstrated and
practiced except in the case of some shrimps and bivalves.
Evenlhough the country is blessed with vast cultivable coastal
and brackish water areas and with rich potentially cultivable
candidate species for farming (20 species of finfishes, 29
crustaceans, 1 7 molluscs, 7 seaweeds and many other species
of anciUiary resources), we have yet to go a long way to achieve
our targets in aquaculture. The paper reviews the R&D works
carried out by CMFRI for crustacean, molluscan, finfish
mariculture, seaweed culture and their developmental
programmes required to be undertaken in the future.
