Abstract

Sea cage farming has paved way for intensive and commercial-level production of finfish in the coastal areas of the country. Since its initiation in 2007 by ICAR- Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), notable strides have been made in terms of innovations in cage and mooring system design and fabrication. Demonstrations of cage farming were undertaken by ICAR-CMFRI under a participatory mode with the help of local fishermen co-operatives and entrepreneurs. Two versions of 6-meter diameter cages indigenously developed by ICAR-CMFRI and fabricated with GI and HDPE frames, have gained traction among fishermen. Comprehensive Guidelines and Good Sea Cage Farming Practices tailored for different regions in the country have also been developed by ICAR-CMFRI.
