Abstract
Brackish water finfish farming is getting momentum in Kerala due to ever increasing demand for fish as a nutritional food. Low return from shrimp aquaculture is also a reason for development of finfish farming. Mullet and Pearl spot are the premium choice for the brackish water finfish farmers of Kerala owing to high price and market demand. There is very high demand for seeds of both these fishes particularly during October - November as license for aquaculture commence from 1 5th of November. Wild collected seeds are the only source for Mullet (Mugilcephalus) as there are no commercial hatcheries functioning. Thirty to forty groups of traditional fisher folks were identified near Vypin area in Ernakulum who carries out collection of Mullet fry's from specific locations in sea during the onset of monsoon (Fig 1).
