Cage Culture in Indian Reservoirs
G. Ganesh* and N. Rajanna
 
Abstract
The yield of Indian reservoirs might be greatly increased through cage fish farming. According to the current study, over 14,000 cages have been put in various reservoirs across the nation, producing roughly 16% of the fish currently produced in reservoirs. In the nation, cage fish farming generates about 7.5 lakh man days of labor. According to an empirical research conducted in the state of Jharkhand, cage culture adoption helped fishers' livelihoods by about 30%. Cage culture decreased occupational migration while also raising monthly family income. Due to an increase in household income, the fishing families who adopted cage farming also gained some durable assets. However, according to the fishermen, some of the main obstacles to adopting the technology were the high initial cost of cage culture operations, the high cost of feed, and the low market price of cultured pangus fish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus). According to the report, state agencies should encourage the use of inexpensive galvanized iron (GI) cages created by the ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (ICAR-CIFRI) in reservoirs since they may be crucial to realizing the nation's blue revolution vision.
