Abstract
Marine aquaculture is still in its infancy when compared to freshwater and brackish water aquaculture sectors, and commercial-scale farming in this sector is yet to take off despite its huge potential to enhance seafood production in the country. Based on the resources available in the maritime states, union territories and islands, the projected mariculture potential of the country is 8-16 million tonnes. In comparison, the current mariculture production is less than 0.1 million tonnes (Gopalakrishnan et al., 2022). However, the mariculture sector will have to play a pivotal role in achieving the maximum fish production to meet marine food fish demand in the near future, as the marine finfish production from wild catch is stagnating.
