Abstract

Marine cage culture is widely recognized as one of the promising intensive culture methods for finfish. The Indian pompano, Trachinotus mookalee, has recently been introduced as part of species diversification approach for enhancing marine fin fish production through mariculture. The species is considered as a suitable candidate species for cage culture because of its amenability to captive breeding, adaptability to different culture conditions, tolerance to wide range of salinity, fast growth rate and high consumer preference. Captive breeding and large-scale seed production technology for the species was standardized under All India Network Project on Mariculture at Visakhapatnam Regional Centre of ICARCentral Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), during the year 2016-17. Following this, marine cage culture technology was also developed, standardized and demonstrated among fishermen, fisheries societies and small entrepreneurs with financial support from National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB), Government of India under Blue Revolution scheme and Pradhan Mantri Matsya sampada Yojana (PMMSY) in different states. The standard steps involved in cage culture of the species are explained below
