Abstract

The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has supplied five lakh hatchery-produced green mussel seeds to fisherfolk along the coast of Maharashtra. This project is funded under the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) to boost coastal livelihoods through bivalve mariculture. This latest distribution brings the total supply to 10 lakh seeds over six months. The 2–4 mm green mussel seeds were produced at the CMFRI Vizhinjam Regional Centre in Kerala. Additionally, the Madras Regional Station provided one lakh oyster seeds to support the initiative. Alongside the seeds, CMFRI scientists provided hands-on training to coastal farmers on micro-nursery rearing techniques.
