Cage farming of fish- A success story of SHGs

Cage fish farming technology facilitates utilization of public water bodies for the livelihood enhancement of coastal fisherfolk. The open water resources of our country have been widely utilized for fish production by establishing location-specific cage culture systems and ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), has played a vital role in disseminating the cage fish culture technology throughout the coastal belt of the country. The present work was carried out as a part of the project entitled “Empowerment of Scheduled Caste fisherfolk through Entrepreneurial Capacity Building of Self Help Groups in marine sector” funded by Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi
