Abstract

As the number of fishing days is reducing with each year due to extreme weather conditions, a recent CMFRI study has shown that mariculture can offer decent income to coastal communities. Cage fish farming in the open sea and coastal waters could yield an additional income of up to Rs three lakh per unit, the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) study found. Mariculture is the cultivation, management, and harvesting of marine organisms in their natural environment.“The study examined the social, environmental, technical, and economic aspects of 159 mariculture units such as cage farming, seaweed cultivation, and Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) in six coastal states, including Kerala,” a CMFRI release said.
