Abstract

As the yield from the capture fisheries stagnates and population growth rate in the world, the requirement or protein is expected to come from increased aquaculture production. In order to meet the demand for more food fish and to develop new products for the export market, the most important component of any culture system must be met – that of adequate supply of fry and juveniles for culture. Most of the worlds fish aquaculture still depend on the fry almost comes exclusively from wild. Seed supply from the wild is often unpredictable and seasonal. Controlled hatchery production of seeds of economically important finfish ensures a steady supply of quality seeds for aquaculture operations.
