Aquaculture, Fisheries

and Horticulture

quaculture is concerned with ‘the propagation and rearing of aquatic organisms under complete human control involving

manipulation of atleast one stage of an aquatic organism's life before harvest, in-order-to increase its production’. Fish

catches from the marine environment have been steadily declining in many parts of the world due to overexploitation and

pollution; many people are turning to aquaculture to improve the food production and to contribute for economic development.

Aquaculture, in India, has made encouraging progress in the past two decades producing significant quantities of food, income

and employment. Aquaculture, particularly, tiger shrimp

Penaeus monodon

culture, has extensively been practiced all along

coastal regions of India. Increased production is being achieved by expansion of culture areas and the use of modern methods.

This development of aquaculture in our country has led to not only severe disease problems but also alteration of the quality of

our natural habitats through increased effluent discharges from aquaculture systems, which contains high quantities of hither-

to-non-existent materials of both organic and inorganic forms. Since recent past it has been observed that the sustainable

development of aquaculture sector can be achieved by adopting eco-friendly aquaculture practices by minimizing impact on the

surrounding environment. To maintain healthy ecosystem in aquaculture ponds and hatchery tanks, bioremediation is the best

biotechnology process. Many researchers have been demonstrated that the pathogens can be eliminated or minimized through

this bio-control process and hence can achieve good yield by maximizing both survival rate and growth rate and by minimizing

the disease problems in aquaculture systems
