Abstract

The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute's (CMFRI) recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) set up at its Vizhinjam Research Centre here was inaugurated by Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare Sudarshan Bhagat on Sunday. This new system will boost the seed production of commercially important marine fishes. The RAS, which filters water inside the fish tank helping to reuse the water, will be beneficial to the brood stock development of marine fishes. The CMFRI set up an RAS tank with a capacity of 30,000 litres, with an aim to popularise the sea cage farming to increase the production of marine species. Inaugurating the facility, Bhagat said farmer-friendly technologies should be developed to attract people into fish farming.
