Abstract

Mariculture, the farming of marine organisms in coastal and offshore waters, has emerged as one of the most promising sectors for augmenting fish production, enhancing livelihood opportunities, and supporting the Blue Economy in India. Over the past two decades, ICARCentral Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has developed and disseminated several mariculture technologies, including sea cage farming, mussel farming, oyster farming, seaweed cultivation, Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA), and coastal pond farming. These technologies have demonstrated significant biological and technical success. However, their large-scale adoption depends not only on technical feasibility but also on their socio-economic viability.
