Abstract

Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production sectors in the world and has been growing steadily over the last three decades and continuing. It is clear that the bulk of fish required to feed the world in the coming decades will come from aquaculture. It is also time to put “nutrition security” at par with “food security” (Ganesh, G et al., 2021) [1]. Cage culture is the most omnipotent form of Mariculture in the Asia-Pacific and the emphasis on the cultured species and the nature, the intensity and scale of the culture operations differ from country to country. Marine aquaculture is a growing industry across globe (Roberts, L 1998) [2] due to the increasing demand for marine products by the human population. Cage aquaculture has grown very rapidly during the past 20 years and is presently undergoing rapid changes in response to pressure from globalization and global demand for aquatic products.
