Abstract
The ICAR-CMFRI – in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries in Lakshadweep and private companies – conducted farming trials to determine the growth performance of commercially important, indigenous species – such as Gracilaria edulis and Acanthophora spicifera – in each island over the seasons. During this period, local people from many islands were trained in seaweed farming. Periodic consultations were held with the prospective stakeholders, local farmers, the seaweed industry, researchers, and the Government, where the results and experiences were shared, and the way forward was discussed. This led to the TSC-Purple Turtle Company carrying out the first-ever commercial-scale pilot seaweed farming in the island territory.
