The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), one of India’s premier research organisations has developed hatchery technology for Picnic Seabream (
Acanthopagrus berda), a commercially important marine food fish.
The breakthrough will help in the diversification of the country’s mariculture activities as the fish - Black Seabream and Goldsilk Seabream - is known for their excellent meat quality and high economic value. It has high demand in the domestic market with a price of around ₹450-500 per kg.
Locally called
Karutha Yeri, the fish is an excellent species for mariculture owing to its faster growth rate, strong resistance to diseases and ability to cope up with wide variations in environmental parameters such as salinity and temperature.
