Abstract

Presently, cage culture and other farming practices are gaining popularity along the coastal areas since it utilizes the existing water bodies with little inputs required for farming fishes. Commercially viable, environmentally and economically sustainable farming practices are possible with only proper site selection. So selection of the site is the most important factors that determine the success and failures of the cage culture system. Controlling water quality parameters in open water cage culture systems is impractical; therefore, the culture of any species must be established in sites having adequate water quality and frequent exchange. Before establishing a cage culture site, it is foremost important to conduct a field survey to gain prior knowledge on the environmental/ hydro-biological parameters of the site selected.
