Abstract

Union Fisheries Minister Parshottam Rupala outlined a comprehensive plan, which includes expanding cage fish farming operations and scaling up pearl oyster production to boost the mariculture sector of the country. The Union Minister, who is visiting Kerala before beginning the 8th phase of the Sagar Parikrama Yatra from Kanyakumari, said the immediate focus would be expanding cage fish farming to offshore waters using bigger and better cages. Rupala, who was accompanied by Minister of State for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying Dr L Murugan and Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan, outlined his ministry's plans during his visit to the Vizhinjam Regional Centre of the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI). He said that bigger and better cages of 30 diameters or above would be used for offshore cage fish farming as they can accommodate lakhs of juvenile fish. Currently, he noted that cage farming is undertaken in nearshore waters using the 6-diameter cages.
