    Abstract

    Experimental culture of sandwhiting Sillago sihama has indicated that it is a good species with good potential. The other cultivable species are Elops indicus, Thernpon spp., Epinephelus spp., Siganus spp., Megalops cyprinoidcs and Tilapia sp. The occurrence of fingerlings of Sillago sihama in good quantities in May and OctQber in the tidal reaches of Pillaimadam area near Mandapam has been reported. The results of the culture experiments are encouraging. The areas which require further research inputs have also been identified, particularly in respect to the development of hatcheries for large scale production offish seed, nutrition of culture fishes, control of diseases and predators, induced maturation in captivity, methods of culture and coastal farm engineering.
