Hand Book on Aquafarming: Fishery Potential of Andaman & Nicobar Islands

The Marine Products Export Development Authority has been promoting the commercial aquaculture of shrimp as a means for boosting India's seafood exports. At the same time, it is recognised that in order to have a sustained share in the world seafood market, aquaculture of other species, which are in great demand should also be encouraged. It was in this context that a publication titled FISHERY POTENTIAL OF ANDAMAN & NICOBAR ISLANDS was brought out at the time of INDAQUA '93, India's first aquaculture exposition. The publication has been well received and we are now coming out with a reprint of this publication. We are confident that this publication will continue to generate interest in those who intend to take up aquaculture of these speaes to exploit the abundant natural resources available in this countrk for augmenting export production
