 Marine Fin Fish Culture
Introduction:
Marine fin fish culture is one of the fastest growing sub-sectors of aquaculture in the world.
In contrast to the global scenario, Indian marine fin fish culture is rapidly emerging out from
its infant stage. The geographic territory of India is bestowed with a vast coastline of 8,118
km with an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million km2. The marine fisheries
sector is dominated by the socio-economically backward artisanal and small scale fishers
whose lives are closely intertwined with the ocean and sea. Sea fishing is a risky occupation
and causes reduction of natural resources. Marine fin fish culture has been increasingly
resorted as means of enhancing the fishery resources, replenishing natural stocks whose
populations have declined through over-exploitation or environmental degradation. It also
maximizes the productivity of water body in an open bay/ coastal lagoon / brackish water
pond.
Marine fin fish has gained much popularity due to its high nutritional profile and great
demand in seafood basket both in domestic and international fish market. The goal is also to
ensure doubling the income of the coastal fishers and fish farmers.
With the technical hand holding of CMFRI, NFDB has been focusing on tapping the full
production potential and enhancement of productivity from mariculture sector by promoting
open sea cage culture, brackish water pond culture for high value marine fin fish culture like
Cobia, Pompano etc.
Under the Technology Upgradation Program, NFDB sanctioned two marine fin fish brood
banks to CMFRI, i.e. Cobia brood bank at Mandapam, Tamil Nadu and Silver Pompano
brood bank at Vizhinjam, Kerala. Two brood banks are now fully operational and suppling
quality Cobia and Silver Pompano yolk sac/seed to farmers on demand, mitigating the seed
shortage problem of coastal fishers.
With the financial assistance of NFDB, CMFRI-Vishakhapatnam Regional Centre has
successfully executed pond demonstration of high value marine fin fish, Indian Pompano
and estuarine cage culture demonstration of Orange Spotted Grouper, which has paved the
way of alternative livelihood generation of fishers.
CIBA achieved the first successful induced breeding and seed production in landlocked
systems for Asian Seabass production. State of the art hatchery facility is producing Asian
seabass juvenile for more than 20 years which could augment the grow out farming area of
Asian seabass to 2000 – 3000 ha in the country.

1
The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Aquaculture (RGCA), under MPEDA is also producing marine
fin fish seed such as Cobia, Silver Pompano, Sea bass etc.
The key factor for successful marine fin fish culture is the availability of quality seed on
time as per demand. This has been taken care by establishing National level marine fin fish
(Cobia and Silver pompano) brood bank and multi species marine fin fish hatcheries in the
country.
Species suitable for Marine fin fish culture
1. Cobia (Rochycentron canodum)
2. Silver Pompano (Trachinotus blochii)
3. Indian Pompano (Trachinotus mookalee)
4. Orange spotted Grouper (Epinephelus coioides)
5. Sea bass/Barramundi (Lates calcarifer)
6. Snapper (Lutjanus sp)
7. Emperor (Lethrinus sp)
Advantage of Marine fin fish culture
ã Socio-economic upliftment of coastal fishers by generating employment
ã Enhanced production of seafood for human consumption
ã Enhanced production of high value marine fin fish
ã Increasing national seafood export
ã Substitution of seafood imports
ã Opportunity for commercially viable business opportunities for the entrepreneurs
ã Alternate livelihood option for coastal fishers as catch from sea is dwindling

I. Marine Fin Fish Rearing

The key factor for successful marine fish culture is good quality seed. To meet the requirement
of fish fingerlings for cage farming in sea, brackish water and coastal aquaculture, it is
necessary to establish marine fin fish nurseries for the larval rearing and fingerling production
of Cobia, Silver/Indian pompano, Sea bass, Grouper, Snapper etc. Fingerling size is the
ideal stocking stage for marine fin fish in sea cages/ponds to avoid crop loss. Hence, marine
fin fish seed rearing up to desired size for achieving better marine fish seed growth is the
need of the hour.
2
Seed of 2 cm (0.5 to 0.6 g) size can be stocked @ 500-800 no./m3 based on the species and
aeration facility available. After a culture period of 45 to 50 day, it will attain fingerling size
(5-15 cm) which is ideal for stocking in sea cages/ponds.
Preventive measures to increase the survival rate during nursery rearing:
1. Fish fingerlings are reared at nursery rearing unit upto 5-15 cm (depending upon the
species)
2. Transport the fingerlings through oxygenated polythene bag
3. Avoid stocking during winter season
4. Water salinity is to be maintained above 20 ppt

II. Open Sea Cage Culture of Marine Fin Fish

Sea cage farming is viewed as a major option for increasing the seafood production and
expanding rapidly in recent years at global level. Sea cage culture involves growing fish in
the sea in the enclosed net cage which allows free flow of water. It is a production system
comprising of a floating frame of varying dimensions and shape, net materials and
mooring system, to hold and culture a large number of fish. Cage culture can be undertaken in
3
open seas, sheltered bays or lagoons having suitable water quality and with prior permission
from concerned government authorities.
Advantages of Sea Cage Farming
ã Stock monitoring is simple in cage farming, facilitating regular observation of behavior,
feeding and growth that are critical in avoiding problems related to stress and disease
outbreak.
ã Easy harvest
ã Recurring expenditure associated with development and maintenance of infrastructure
are lower in cage farming compared to shore based farming practices.
Exclusion of areas for cage farming:
Sites which are active fishing zones and close to harbours/fish landing centres and navigation
channels, defense areas, marine protected areas, coral reefs, mangroves, areas under coastal
management plan, points of industrial effluent discharge, pollution, heavy freshwater
discharge by rivers, presence of underwater pipelines, telecom cables, explosives dumping
and areas of historic ship wreck are to be avoided during site selection.

Good Management Practices (GMPs)
ã Avoid over-stocking of fish fingerlings
ã Monitor growth rate at appropriate time intervals
ã Feed fish with pellets of good quality and right quantity
ã Regular cleaning and exchange of net cages for effective water exchange
ã Avoid use of antifouling paints/ chemicals
ã Timely removal and proper disposal of dead fish if any
ã Periodic monitoring of water temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, etc.
ã Close observation of fish behavior while feeding, to assess health status
ã Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA)/ Polyculture of compatible species in
cage
Feeding schedule:
Feeding rate, frequency and time of feeding are important factors to be considered in cage
farming. Feeding rate and frequency are related to age and size of the fish. Fish larvae and
5
fry need to be fed with a high protein diet
frequently. When fish grows bigger, feeding
rates and frequencies can be reduced.
Feed consumption is influenced by time
of feeding, season, water temperature,
dissolved oxygen levels and other water
quality parameters. Also feeding depends on
biomass, protein content, feeding frequency
etc.
Feed contains the following five major constituents viz.(i) Protein (ii) Carbohydrate (iii) Fat
(iv) Mineral and (v) Vitamin. Protein is the most essential element for growth of the fish.
The nutrient requirements of marine carnivorous fish (as %) are given below:
Size of Fish Moisture Crude Protein Crude fat Crude fiber
Fry/Fingerling (1 - 20 g) <12 >42 >5 <4
Juvenile (20 - 50 g) <12 >40 >5 <4
50 - 300 gm size <12 >38 >5 <4
>300 gm size (Finisher) <12 >35 >5 <4

Marine fish requires higher protein (35-40%) feed for their optimal growth. Based on growth
of the fish, size of the feed pellet should be adjusted. Normal feeding rate is 10% of the body
weight for juveniles which can be reduced to 3% of body weight as farming progresses.
Only recommended ration should be given to fish, since overfeeding leads to wastage and
environment pollution.
Seed Stocking:
ã Stocking appropriate size and number of fish seed in cages is very crucial for the success
of cage farming
ã After allowing the hatchery produced spawn to grow for a period ranging from 30 to 60
days, fish seed can be stocked in cages
ã Nursery rearing of seed is essential for all species and it can be done as a separate
activity, in land based nursery ponds or hapas held in ponds or in floating nursery cages,
Healthy, uniform-sized fingerlings should be procured for stocking in cages

III. Marine Fin Fish Culture in Brackish Water Pond

Brackish water aquaculture in India is an age-old practice confined mainly to the bheries of
West Bengal, similar to gheris in Odisha,
pokkali/rice fields in Kerala, kharlands in Karnataka and Maharashtra, and khazans in Goa
coasts. For boosting up Brackish water aquaculture, quality of fish seed is a limiting factor
for intensification of fish production, which
is now being taken care of by establishing
Marine Fin Fish Hatcheries. PMMSY aims
to boost up Marine fish species production
and also to
cover more area under Brackish water sector.
Fish species such as Seabass, Cobia, Silver
Pompano, Indian Pompano, Orange spotted
grouper have shown a lot of promises for
commercial aquaculture in Brackish Water area. In India, about 13% of 1.24 million ha
potential brackish water resource is under utilization at present, mainly for Shrimp culture.
The country has large potential for the development of Marine Fin Fish culture in brackish
water.
Nursery rearing of seed is essential for all species and it can be done as a separate activity,
in land based nursery ponds or hapas held in ponds or in floating nursery cages, Healthy,
uniform-sized fingerlings should be procured for stocking in Brackish water ponds for grow
out culture.

Pond preparation and water treatment:
Step 1: Dry the Pond with lime
Step 2: De-weeding, cleaning and desilting
(after drying generally 10-12 cm mud to be
removed)
Step 3: Apply lime (quick lime @ 250 kg/ha)
Step 4: Fill the pond with water up to a depth
of 30-50 cm and apply fertilizer (SSP
/Urea @30-50 kg / ha)
Step 5: After the plankton bloom increase (approximately after 7 days), fill the pond at a
depth of 1.5-2 m
Step 5: Stock the fingerlings after acclimatization
Best Management practices for grow out culture of Indian Pompano
1. Good quality fish fingerlings should be
stocked to obtain maximum survival
2. Pond should be fertilized to maintain water
quality and water color. Optimum increase
in phytoplankton will allow development
of zooplankton, which in turn will help to
reduce feed cost and enrich the fish with
high EPA and DHA (n 3 fatty acids)
3. Creation of feeding zone with the help of
feed tray will acclimatize the fish to feed in particular area, which will reduce the feed
cost
4. Water exchange should be done during the culture period to maintain water quality
5. 2-paddle wheel aerators in a single pond can be used depending upon the Dissolved
Oxygen (DO) level
Best Management practices for grow out culture of Grouper
1. Grouper is demersal fish, which always remain at the bottom of the pond or hapa.
Additionally, the larvae are having the grouping behaviour and feeds as group. So, it
is recommended to stock more numbers for effective feeding. Immediately after
9
 stocking into the hapa the fish fingerlings
remain at the bottom and they need to be
acclimatized for feeding by giving sinking
feed or moist feed which can reach the
bottom. Once acclimatized, slowly the fish
fingerlings come up for feeding and the
floating feed can be given
2. The fish is temperature sensitive, so
shifting or fresh stocking to the pond from
hatchery to be avoided during winter season – which reduces survival
3. Transportation of Grouper fingerlings in the polythene bags should be avoided, because
at this stage the dorsal spine of the fish is hard, which pierces the polythene bag
4. Grouper is prone for size variation in different stages, this variation in size in the group
leads to cannibalism and further low survival. Thus, grading of fingerlings at every
fortnight is recommended during the nursery rearing
5. Aerator need to be used in the nursery pond
