Abstract

Sustainable fishing, conservation of fishery resources and preservation of coastal ecosystems form a complex triad of necessary activities that need to be juxtaposed in the best possible way to provide the ideal formula for fisheries management. Today, India faces the threat of increasing fishing pressure, decreasing fish stocks and steady degradation of many coastal ecosystems due to a combination of anthropogenic and natural factors. With the increasing demand for seafood protein and downward slide of catches and low returns in fishing, fishermen are anxious and worried over the future of their profession, livelihoods and more importantly, their next generation. Cage aquaculture presents a solution to these issues as it is a platform widely acceptable to fishing communities and easily adopted by them as an allied or alternate activity.
