Abstract

Mariculture or fish farming in sea water, either in the open sea or land-based systems is an important component of the global aquaculture sector. With an estimated production of 33 million tonnes of marine farmed fish production constituting 27% of the total food fish through aquaculture in 2020, technology development plays a key role in taking mariculture to new heights. Globally, land-based Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems (RAS) for high value finfish production is being favored for maximizing production, enhancing productivity and more precise management of this particular intensive to superintensive culture system. ICAR-CMFRI is in the forefront of indigenously developing such challenging technologies that is also sustainable and bio-secure, for the mariculture sector in India. Another important milestone has been the development of immortal marine fish cell lines which are invaluable tools in advanced research in environmental monitoring, biotechnology applications especially in immunology and genetic aspects as well as marine fish biodiversity conservation. This issue of MFIS presents interesting research findings across the broad spectrum of marine fisheries of India, to its valued readers.
