Mariculture Activities
- In order to find out the response, especially of spawning, the hatching success and larval survival of cultivable species and live feed organisms to different seawater temperature, experiments were conducted on 3 species of microalgae, 1 species of copepod, 1 species of shrimp, 1 species of sand lobster, 5 species of ornamental fish and 2 species of food fish.
- Growth and multiplication of rotifers at different temperatures with algal feeds were assessed.
- Impact of temperature and salinity on the embryonic development of Cobia and larviculture was assessed.
-
Experiments of climate resilient live feeds suitable for larviculture of Cobia and silver pompano was performed.
- Trials on pen farming with milkfish Chanos chanos was done.
- Experimental studies were conducted on carbon sequestration potential of seaweed at Mandapam.
- Experimental cage farming of silver pompano Trachinotus blochii fed with low value fishes was carried out.
- Trials on Integrated Multi Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) by integrating the seaweed Kappaphycus alvarezii with cobia was done.
- Experimental studies carried out on impact of increased temperature on growth, associated bacterial flora and histopathological changes in silver pompano.
Technology Demonstration Activities
- A large number of fishermen and entrepreneurs were trained in all-weather mooring of sea cages, development of low-cost cages and culture of fish in sea cages.
- Empowering the coastal fishermen to harness positive impact of climate change by Capture Based Aquaculture (CBA) was done.
- Technology of sea cage farming of high-value fishes like Cobia and Silver pompano, low-cost cage construction, mooring of cages in the sea; mussel and seaweed farming and integration of cage farming with pokkali farming were demonstrated to fishermen and other stakeholders.
- Demonstration of cage culture potential for high value fishes like seabass (Lates calcarifer) and cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and Pompano (Trachinotus blochii) and conduct of awareness program was done.
- Integration of Scientific fin fish farming along with traditional Pokkali paddy cultivation at Ernakulam District of Kerala.
- Developed a formulated feed (Pearl Plus) for culturing Peal spot, Karimeen.
- Climate resilient food crops among halophytes identified.
- Participatory programmes in association with state government of Goa was carried out by Karwar research Centre of CMFRI.
- Owing to the success of NICRA Technology demonstration, the Fish Farmers Development Agency (FFDA) under the State Government initiated a scheme - Integrated fish farming in Pokkali fields through which the agency support fish farming both in open Pokkali fields and also in cages sited in Pokkali fields.
- Demonstration under Integrated Multi Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) indicate yield of seaweed cultivation with cage farmed cobia as almost double the weight of seaweed when sea weed farming was done alone.
- Hands on Training programmes on marine cage farming was done for officials, fishermen communities and SHGs.
- Awareness program on cage culture practices in marine as well as brackish water areas were given to fishermen communities and women SHGs.
- Cage farming of Asian seabass, cobia and Pompano was carried out under participatory demonstration programme.
