Abstract
Cage culture is recognized as a promising farming practice. It offers the fishers and fish farmers a chance for optimal utilization of existing water resources which in most cases has limited use for other purposes. It is a low impact farming practice with high economic returns. There are wide prospects of culturing different species of finfishes in cages. In India cage culture was initiated by CMFRI since 2007 and within a decade and half, the technology has been standardized and widely accepted by fishers and farmers along the Indian coasts. ICAR-CMFRI has developed cost-effective design for cages in open waters (open sea, rivers, lakes, quarries) with many years of innovations and inputs from technical experts and has been simplified and popularized among farmers. Square shape cages have been advised widely for open waters other than sea.
