Foreword
Fisheries play an important role in augmenting nutritional security and employment to millions of rural folk worldwide. The global fish production is in the order of 145 million tonnes more or less equally contributed by capture and culture fisheries showing annual growth rate of 4.7 % and it is one of the fastest growing food sectors. Production through capture fisheries in many areas is showing a declining trend or is stagnating and reaching the maximum sustainable yield (MSY). This has forced to look for aquaculture as a potential alternate for fish production. The demand for fish and fishery products is increasing at a faster phase, and to meet this demand, technologies for producing more fish is the need of the hour. In this context, capture fisheries has limitations since constant catch efforts and increased exploitation have reduced resources, which will be further depleted. It will become difficult to increase or restore and even sustain fishery. Hence, globally all-out efforts are made for aqu
