Cage culture is coming up as a promising venture and offers the fishers a chance for optimally utilizing the existing water resources which in most cases have only limited use for other purposes. By integrating the cage culture system into the aquatic ecosystem, the carrying capacity per unit area is optimized because the free flow of current brings in fresh supply of water and removes metabolic wastes and excess feed. Thus economically speaking, cage culture is a low impact farming practice with high economic returns. CMFRI initiated a major programme on cage aquaculture of finfishes with the support of NFDB, an agency which is promoting cage aquaculture. NFDB sanctioned 14 open sea floating cages for open sea cage culture demonstration farms across the country along almost all the maritime states in India to increase fish production and thereby providing an avenue for the fishers to augment their present income level. Under this project cages as well as nets were fabricated in all the 14 identified centres.
