Stock culture maintenance and mass culture of micro algae
Marine micro algae are found in marine systems living both in water as well as in
sediment have an important role in ecological pyramid of the marine ecosystem. These
are the base of the trophic web and provide energy for all successive trophic level in the
marine eco system. These are single celled, chlorophyll bearing organisms uses solar
energy and nutrients from water to convert it into organic matter. Out of 8 Lakhs
species of different genera of algae available from marine ecosystem very few have
been tapped for their use as availability of biomedical compounds and also as feed in
different finfish, shellfish and molluscan hatchery. Their role is also very much vital
and critical in a successful mariculture hatchery management. An alga serves as a feed
for other zooplanktons and also added to the larval rearing tanks to improve quality of
water as green water technology. Among microalgae, flagellate and diatom species are
cultured in hatcheries in suitably treated seawater enriched with nutrients such as
nitrates, phosphates, essential trace elements and vitamins. To support growth of high
densities of larvae and juveniles reared in the hatchery high density of micro algal
culture is essential. Considering the importance of marine algal culture, different indoor
laboratories and outdoor mass culture systems being carried out in various hatcheries in
world like Japan, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Indonesia as well as India
సముద్రములో చేపల సాగుకు అవసరమైన మూరింగుకు యాంత్రిక పరిజ్ఞ్యానం (Engineering aspects of mooring for offshore cage farming of finfishes)
Cage culture has been demonstrated as a suitable tool to enhance marine fish production in coastal areas by Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute in recent years. Cage farming fully depends on the cage stability in the sea considering the rough weather conditions throughout the seasons which differs from place to place. The design and installation of offshore cage needs basic understanding on their behavior in actual sea conditions. As a cage system operates in open sea, it is subjected to currents, waves and winds. The mooring and anchoring system helps to keep the cage in sea against drifting
Integration of seaweed (Kappaphycus alvarezii) and pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata) along with Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) in open sea floating cage off Andhra Pradesh coast
Aquaculture is growing very fast and its growth is
expected to continue and it is necessary to supply fish
for the ever growing population of our country. In India,
fish production and consumption is considered to be
important and needs to be promoted. As capture fisheries
have almost become stagnant, diversification of
aquaculture is highly necessary. Considering the limited
scope of freshwater aquaculture and the availability of
vast coastline, open sea cage culture gained importance
in the present day mariculture practice. Open sea floating
cage culture is an alternative sustainable practice for
rearing fish and shellfish species and polyculture along
with seaweeds may also improve profitability and
sustainability. Open sea cage culture is an aquaculture
production system where high density of fish is cultured
in floating cages. Floating cages are widely used in
commercial aquaculture and individual cage units of
desired shapes and sizes can be tailored to suit the needs
ఆర్ధిక రంగములో బహిరంగ సముద్ర జలాల్లో తేలియాడే కేజులో చేపలసాగు (Economics of open sea floating cage culture of finfishes)
Considering the opportunities for increasing mariculture production in India, cage culture offers the farmers and entrepreneurs with the scope to lay the idle resources of Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea for a productive use. However the adoption of any technology depends upon its economic performance. The rate of return per rupee invested is the economic indicator that guides the investor to invest in the particular activity
Different aspects of cage culture management for sustainable fish production
A technological intervention has been the major impetus for the rapid
development of cage farming of marine fishes across the world. In spite of the
various technologies available for the fulfilment of high production and proper
installation of the cages, it is necessary to optimise the many factors periodically
to avoid the adverse impact of environmental and ecological factors for long
maintenance of cages and also to maintain the healthy animals in the cage. In this
context, monitoring plays vital role in any type of mariculture activity. Therefore,
a well conceived and designed monitoring programme is needed to promote good
growth of fishes and to obtain optimal production in a sustainable manner from
cages. Cage monitoring is an integral part of the cage culture and it should be
continued starting from the installation of the cage to till harvesting the fishes.
The following are the major aspects where the cage monitoring is essential and it
includes maintenance of cage and its accessories, stocking of the fish, feeding,
fish husbandry, health management, water quality and harvesting
కేజు సాగు పై నివేదిక (Overview of cage culture)
Cage farming in brackish and inshore waters in Asia is relatively recent, being started in Japan. It is estimated that over 95 percent of marine finfish aquaculture is in cages. Cage farming is most dominant in East and Southeast Asia, but not in South Asian nations. In India, cage culture started recently by CMFRI and it has demonstrated along the Indian coast for culturing different species such as Sea bass (Lates calcarifer), Lobster, Cobia etc to the farmer

Training manual on “Cage Culture of Finfishes - Telugu” is published by the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Visakhapatnam Regional Centre, Andhra Pradesh. This manual is published as reading material in the training programme on cage culture of finfishes for fishermen, aquafarmers and entrepreneurs involved in mariculture activities in telugu. This manual is consisting of different chapters which describe various aspects related to open sea cages
Engineering aspects of cage design, mooring and net design for open sea cage farming in India
Cage is an aquaculture production structure comprising of a rigid floating
frame, flexible net materials and mooring system (synthetic mooring rope, buoy
and anchor) with a round or square shape floating net pen to hold and culture
large number of fishes and other aquatic resources which can be installed in
reservoir, river, lake or sea. The design and operating variables in engineering
aspects of an open sea cage is of great concern in mariculture operations as they
are installed in exposed sites in the off shore areas. The design of the cage and its
accessories is specially made in agreement to the individual farmer’s
requirements. A well engineered cage design will provide the opportunity to
reduce the cost of the cages. HDPE material is found to be suitable to make cage
frame for open sea cages. The HDPE float frames installed in open unprotected
water can withstand wave conditions. Round cage (volume depends on diameter)
with floatation system made of butt-welded HDPE pipes, designed for the culture
of fishes such as milkfish, mullet, cobia or pompano, sea bass and lobsters, and
this very well used in many countries
