Abstract

Cocastal marine aquaculture is one of the emerging areas for marine food fish production and is mainly performed in the sea and in coastal ponds. Mariculture and coastal aquaculture collectively produced 30.8 million tonnes (USO 106.5 billion) of aquatic animals in 2018, and they are mainly from marine cages, coastal cages and coastal earthen ponds. Increasing marine food fish production through innovative and intensive culture methods has increased demand for marine finfish seeds, either from wild collection or hatchery-based production. In this context, nursery rearing plays an important role in supplying sufficient numbers of fingerlings at ready-tostockable size in grow-out culture for better survival and faster growth. Larval rearing ends after the larvae achieve the full metamorphosis, and the metamorphosed early fry harvested from larval tanks is often not strong enough for direct stocking in growout farms. Thus, nursery rearing of fish larvae is important for the production of the grow-out culture of stockable-size fish.
