Abstract

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has developed a hatchery technology for picnic seabream (acanthopagrus berda), a commercially important marine food fish 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 ₹450 to ₹500 a kg. Locally called karutha yeri, the fish is an well suited to mariculture owing to its fast growth rate, strong resistance to diseases and ability to cope up with wide variations in environmental conditions, said a communication from CMFRI here on Thursday. The breeding technology, developed by the Karwar Research Centre of CMFRI, is expected to open up enormous scope for the country’s mariculture ventures in the near future through species diversification, said A. Gopalakrishnan, director of CMFRI.
