Abstract

The Visakhapatnam unit of ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) will flag off the maiden harvest of cage farmed orange-spotted grouper and Indian pompano on August 16. The orange-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) and Indian pompano (Trachinotus mookalee) are two candidate species having huge demand in finfish mariculture. CMFRI Director Shubhadeep Ghosh told The Hindu that keeping this in view the Visakhapatnam Regional Centre of ICAR-CMFRI had developed seed production technology of the two species after extensive trials during past few years. The centre was credited with achieving a major breakthrough in the past in achieving mass scale production of orange-spotted grouper – known for rich content of Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids. It is low in the landing from the wild and fetches around ₹250 to ₹350 per kg in the domestic market.
