Abstract

Marine cage culture is the latest innovation in Indian mariculture scenario. The first cage was demonstrated in Visakhapatanam in 2007-08. The logic of the floating cage culture technology is the conversion of marine space into a controlled production system. This entails a number of socio-political issues apart from the technological ones. Prominent among them is the changing context of marine tenure in the country. This paper analyses such issues based on a preliminary study conducted in some of the locations where the cage demonstration has been implemented. The major sociological framework employed in the analysis is that of the Actor –Network Theory (ANT) proposed by Latour (2007). Thus the methodological objective was to explore the actor- networks at different locations using participatory protocols.
