Abstract : The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has been working on seaweed
mariculture and seaweed utilization in India since 1972. Annual seaweed harvest estimation (wild
collection) from the Indian coast and production through farming in the sea along the east coast
of India are being enumerated periodically by this Institute from which the potential seaweed
yield has been estimated at 0.26 million tonnes/year. The institute is promoting seaweed farming
activity along the coast through the Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) programme. The institute
has developed and commercialized many nutraceutical products from seaweeds, which received
appreciation from the Government of India.
The Mandapam Regional Centre of ICAR-CMFRI has developed a cottage industry model for
the manufacture of agar from Gracilaria spp. and demonstrated agar production to many farmers
and entrepreneurs. These demonstrations have paved the way for the development of many smallscale agar industries in Madurai district, Tamil Nadu. More than 60 hands-on training programmes
were conducted at Mandapam RC of ICAR-CMFRI on farming of Kappaphycus and native seaweed
species during 2011-2022 covering 1636 trainees (fishers and government officials) from Andaman &
Nicobar, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
Currently the institute is conducting a series of awareness-cum-training programmes
on Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) and seaweed farming. This has resulted
in creating interest among many farmers/entrepreneurs to adopt seaweed farming. As a part of
disseminating knowledge, a document on Good Management Practices on seaweed farming has
been prepared. The document has a step-by-step narration of what one should and should not do
in seaweed farming.

Abstract : The human resource development activities at I CAR-CM FRI are administered by the HRD Cell of
the Institute. The day-to-day affairs ofthe Cell are being managed by a Committee consisting
of a Nodal Officer and two Co-nodal Officers. The Institute offers unique opportunities for
research and training to post-graduate (Masters and Doctoral) and Post-Doctoral Fellows and
researchers in various streams of marine fisheries, mariculture and allied areas. The programs
provide excellent opportunity for scholars and researchers to work in the emerging areas of
research related to marine fisheries in their Post Graduate /Doctoral /Post-Doctoral
programmes, guided by leading scientists of ICAR-CMFRI. The post-graduate programme of
ICAR-CMFRI was first initiated in 1979 as part of the UNDP/FAO assisted programme for
establishment of the Centre of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Mariculture. The MSc and PhD
programmes offered as part of this pargramme was affiliated to the Cochin University of
Science and Technology (CUSAT). The programme was discontinued later when it was merged
with the academic programmes offered by !CAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education (ICARCIFE}, Mumbai. The research and trainings are coordinated as per Institute guidelines, which
are in full conformity with that of the Human Resource Management (HRM) unit of ICAR. The
institute has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with various Agricultural
Universities (AU) / Deemed to be Universities (DU) and Research Institutes to facilitate
academic and research collaboration which include CUSAT, Mangalore University, Kerala
University of Fisheries and Ocean Studies (KUFOS}, !CAR-Central Institute of Fisheries
Education(CIFE}, Kerala Agricultural University (KAU}, Madras University, University of Kerala,
Madurai Kamaraj University, Andhra University, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University and
Alagappa University.

Abstract : Biodiversity is the mainstay of ecosystem services and functions and supports the livelihood of millions of people. Sustainable utilization and conservation of our rich biological diversity is a prerequisite for human survival. India is a megadiverse country and with only 2.4% of the world’s geographical area, it accounts for 7 to 8% of all recorded species. Our country is a signatory to various international instruments focussing on matters of biodiversity, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The country has an obligation to protect our rich biological diversity and is one of the leaders in having established a comprehensive legal and institutional system to achieve the objectives of the CBD. Expansion of India’s Protected Area (PA) network, including ‘Conservation and Community Reserves’ is one of the important action points of the National Biodiversity Action Plan of our country. The Kadalundi-Vallikunnu Community Reserve which lies in the Malabar region is the first Community Reserve of Kerala and is known for its rich biological diversity. Endowed with dense mangrove forests and mudflats, the Community Reserve is an abode to a large number of avian fauna, including many migratory species. Fishing and ecotourism have been the mainstay of income generation for many local inhabitants of the Community Reserve. Considering the ecological significance, diversity of wetland avian fauna and the burden of heavy anthropogenic pressures, the Kadalundi estuary was officially declared as the ‘Kadalundi-Vallikunnu Community Reserve’ in October, 2007. Bio-inventorying and documentation of biodiversity is invaluable for the wise use of our ecosystems and the sustainability of biological resources. This publication is an outcome of a detailed study conducted by the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in collaboration with the Kerala State Biodiversity Board to document the rich biodiversity of the Kadalundi-Vallikunnu Community Reserve and to assess the economic value of the various ecosystem services rendered by the Community Reserve. The publication provides an insight in to the diversity of plankton, seagrass, mangroves, mangrove associates, avian fauna, molluscs, crustaceans and finfishes of the Community Reserve with an overview of the economic value of the ecosystem services.

Abstract : Lakshadweep Group of Islands, the little specks, in the Arabian Sea has a total geographical area of a meager 32 Km2 only. The same fluctuate due to seasonal erosions and accretions. The arable land of the Islands is hardly 26 Km2 which has to accommodate the entire essential infrastructures including the housing needs. However, availability of 4 lakh Km2 of Exclusive Economic Zone, 20,000 Km2 of territorial waters, 4,200 Km2 of lagoons, 6 submerged sandbanks, and 3 coral reefs make it the second-largest Island territory of India. The waters around the Islands are immensely rich with various types of fishery resources. The blue lagoons with highly attractive flora & fauna are extremely enchanting and are the most suitable for Responsible Tourism Programs (RTP) and thus, makes it one of the richest territories of the nation. The realistic and long-lasting socio-economic development can be achieved only through scientific and rational utilization of these natural resources. Therefore, appropriate developmental programs have to be designed through holistic approaches to ensure sustainable exploitation. The utilization of fishery resources, with very high exploitable potentials, coupled with the availability of suitable human resources has to get top priority while contemplating the strategies.

Abstract : The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is a premier research institute involved in marine fisheries and mariculture research in the past several decades. The institute has been instrumental in developing noteworthy technologies and policies aimed at augmenting fish production and livelihoods of coastal fisherfolk in the country. In view of the declining catches from the marine capture fisheries, the enormous potential of mariculture need to be tapped for achieving the blue revolution targets. CMFRI has made significant strides in developing and popularising mariculture technologies such as mussel and edible oyster farming, sea weed farming, seed production techniques for high value finfishes and marine ornamental fishes. Cage fish farming is an emerging aquaculture technology in the country developed and popularised by the institute. Development of hatchery technologies of high value finfishes, standardisation of culture protocols as well as successful frontline demonstrations and participatory technology development programmes by the institute paved the way for popularisation of cage fish farming in all the maritime states of the country. Cage fish farming is low impact farming technology with high economic returns which has tremendous scope for employment and income generation for the coastal population in the country. There are at present 3000 cage farm units installed in the marine and coastal waters of the country under the direct technical supervision of CMFRI.
