The culture work in India mainly concerned with milkfish, mullets, Indian sand-whiting and prawns in mono-or polyculture systems in sea water ponds. These and other species like rabbit fishes and groupers are cultured in pens, cages and net impoundments. Details of development of coastal fish farms with simple methods of construction, lining of ponds by polythene film to prevent bund erosion and retention of water against seepage and turfing of bunds are dealt with. The paper also outlines the constraints experienced in culture of fin fishes _under various systems and the prospects of further development of finfish culture in India.
