Abstract

Cage rearing of pom pano in coastal waters for the first time in Pavanje Estuary, Koluvailu Village, Haleyangady Panchayat, Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka under the Scheduled Caste Sub Plan program (SCSP). Hands-on training on various aspects of the cage culture was imparted to the beneficiaries through participatory mode. The average growth observed during the five months grow out period was 300 g with a FCR of 1.5. The results of this cage rearing programme of the snubnose pom pano has proved the rapid growth rate of the species attaining table size in a short span of 5-6 months. Further, after witnessing the success of the farm ing demonstration and the good market price (^400/kg) for the cultured snubnose pompano, several aquafarmers have become interested in taking up its farming
