Cage based aauaculture in the inland open waters of India

摘要

Globally, India stands second in inland fish production next to China, but there is a huge gap in fish production between these tw< leading aquaculture countries. Th prime objective of cage culture ir inland open water is the stocking of reservoirs and culture of economically important fishes foiaugmenting fish production.Cage culture in inland open waters is being evaluated as an opportunity to use existing reservoirs and meet the increasing demand for animal protein in the country. Reservoirs in India offer substantial scope for implementation of technology for intensive cage farming to realise water productivity, entrepreneurship and employment opportunities.
