Abstract

It is with great pride that the success of ICAR-CMFRI in captive breeding and seed production of a highly valued marine food and ornamental fish, the Golden trevally is announced. This success is a first for India and will go a long way in species diversification of the mariculture sector in India with its acceptance as a potential candidate species for farming. The development of sixteen immortal marine fish cell lines holds enormous importance for its possible applications in fields of virology, toxicology and functional genomics among others in the fisheries science realm. As demanded by stakeholders, several actions on promotion of seaweed cultivation were initiated and have sufficient scope to enhance income of farmers. The numerous outreach programmes held over the period enabled transfer the knowledge generated from research activities to the larger communities of stakeholders. It is hoped that these activities will ensure a vibrant marine fisheries sector in the country.
