CMFRI paves way for culture production of groupers, cuttlefish and clownfish

Abstract

Groupers are highly esteemed marine food fish which are in great demand in the export market. The technology for breeding protogynous marine finfish has not been developed in the country until recently. The reason is that Groupers happen to be functional females initially. reverting later to be functional males. This peculiarity renders breeding them in captivity a challenging task.
