The concept of rearing fishes in floating net cages in sheltered bays and open sea has been applied in several countries using species of high value. Several countries have established commercial ventures in cage farming. The ongrowing and production of farmed aquatic organisms in caged enclosures in open sea in India was initiated at Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh during 2007 with the objective of testing the feasibility of open sea cage farming of marine finfishes and shellfishes. Successful harvesting of the cultured Asian seabass Lates calcarifer from the cage opened up a new era in seafarming in the country. Encouraged by the success, floating marine cages were launched at Veraval in Gujarat, Chennai in Tamilnadu and Vizhinjam in Kerala for fattening of spiny lobsters.
