In recent times, marine fish catch in the country is stagnating annually, indicating that increasing the fish catch from the existing fishing grounds is not sustainable economically and ecologically. Added to this, dwindling catch in capture fisheries, resulting unemployment in the coastal region and demand for additional seafood necessitates the development of mariculture as a substantial seafood production sector. Enhancing fish production from inland sector has limited scope and the major portion of the additional demand has to come from mariculture. Sea cage farming is viewed as a major option for increasing the seafood production and has been expanding rapidly in recent years at global level. The cage aquaculture has grown very rapidly during the past 20 years and is presently undergoing rapid changes due to globalization and a growing global demand for aquatic products. In this context, it was felt necessary to bring out standardized guidelines for good aquaculture practices in sea cage culture for the fishermen, fish farmers and officials of the fisheries departments. Through this guide, the concerns about food safety and quality, sustainability, environmental protection etc are being catered. It is necessary to pay attention to the quality of production practices requiring minute attention at different aspects of production, storage, handling and distribution. The cage farmed fish include mostly cobia, pompano, grouper, Asian seabass and snappers in our country. This Standard is part of a series of Indian Standards on Good Aquaculture Practices and considerable assistance has been provided by ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi, in formulation of this standard.
