Abstract

The present trend of exploitation of many of the conventional marine capture fisheries in dicates that they would be, in the near future, reaching the maximum sustainable yield. This situation warrants an immediate consideration of rational management of the exploited resources and means of stepping up of production to meet the ever increasing de mand. The latter could be achieved by two ways — by harvesting the non-conventional re sources such as the krill, the mesopeiagic fishes and so on, where a beginning has already been made, or by intensifying the aquaculture practices of suitable organisms. Although man took to aquaculture well over 2000 years ago, research support for its development came forth only recently. This is especially so in sea farming and aquaculture in the estuaries, brackishwater areas, coastal inundated stretches, saline lagoons and mangrove ecosystems, broadly termed here as coastal aquaculture.
