Abstract

Maze rabbitfish, Siganus vermiculatus is considered as promising species for coastal cage and pond farming due to its herbivorous feeding habit and ability to feed low on the aquatic food chain. The Karwar Regional Station was successful in breeding and seed production of maze rabbitfish, S. vermiculatus in captive condition. To popularize the cage farming of maze rabbitfish, thousand numbers of hatchery produced S. vermiculatus fingerlings (Total length 3.63±0.088 cm and body weight 2.46±0.03 g), were supplied to the Mangrove Foundation, Maharashtra, on 22nd December 2023.
