Abstract : The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) is a premier research institute involved in marine fisheries and mariculture research in the past several decades. The institute has been instrumental in developing noteworthy technologies and policies aimed at augmenting fish production and livelihoods of coastal fisherfolk in the country. In view of the declining catches from the marine capture fisheries, the enormous potential of mariculture need to be tapped for achieving the blue revolution targets. CMFRI has made significant strides in developing and popularising mariculture technologies such as mussel and edible oyster farming, sea weed farming, seed production techniques for high value finfishes and marine ornamental fishes. Cage fish farming is an emerging aquaculture technology in the country developed and popularised by the institute. Development of hatchery technologies of high value finfishes, standardisation of culture protocols as well as successful frontline demonstrations and participatory technology development programmes by the institute paved the way for popularisation of cage fish farming in all the maritime states of the country. Cage fish farming is low impact farming technology with high economic returns which has tremendous scope for employment and income generation for the coastal population in the country. There are at present 3000 cage farm units installed in the marine and coastal waters of the country under the direct technical supervision of CMFRI.

Abstract : India is a signatory to various international instruments focussing on matters of biodiversity, including the Convention on Biological Diversity and has an obligation to protect our rich biological diversity, including the marine ecosystem and its varied resources. Of the marine ecosystems, the coral reefs are important being highly productive with rich biodiversity, offering numerous ecosystem services and in addition, serve as protectors of shoreline. As a result, these ecosystems have been centres of active research for the past several decades across the globe. In India, most of the coral reef research concentrated around the Lakshadweep, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the Gulf of Mannar, Palk Bay and the Gulf of Kachchh. However, there is a need to explore new areas of coral existence and in this endeavour, studies have shown the existence of coral patches in Ratnagiri, Malvan and Redi, south of Mumbai and at the Gaveshani Bank off Mangalore. The occurrence of coral reefs along the south-west coast of India in general and Kerala coast in particular was once thought to be meagre to non-existent. In 1995, the ICAR-CMFRI recorded 13 hermatypic corals from the patchy reefs of Enayam and Vizhinjam and 16 ahermatypes collected during research cruises on board FORV Sagar Sampada. However, extensive studies on coral diversity through underwater surveys in the patchy reef areas from Enayam to Kollam was carried out for the first time during 2008-2012 by ICAR-CMFRI, after a span of more than a decade. Studies during this period, focussed on the scleractinian corals as well as on the sponges and reef fishes of the area, and the present publication is an outcome of this study.

Abstract : Marine capture fisheries is an important component of the fisheries sector in India, generating livelihood avenues for an estimated 3.79 million fishers directly besides those involved in the secondary and tertiary structures concerned with fish marketing, processing and exports of fish and fishery products. Sustainable harvesting of the marine fishery resources is important in a scenario where there is large scale over-capitalisation in the sector and abrupt and long-term disruptions in environmental parameters due to climate change related processes. The Indian Oil Sardine, a major single species fishery in India accounts for 17 - 20% of the total marine fish landings. At the national level, in landing volumes it is the top ranked species during most years. Among marine fishes, its importance as a favoured table fish and rich source of fish oils creates a unique position for the Indian oil sardine in terms of its economic value. However, the resource is prone to sudden fluctuations in abundance that makes it an enigma to researchers, fishers and managers. ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has conducted extensive research on the resource since its inception and several aspects of its biology, fishery and stock assessment have been reported periodically. Considering the importance of this resource to the marine fisheries sector of India, it is important to compile all existing information and subsequent research insights to assist its efficient management along the Indian coast. I am happy that the scientists of the Pelagic Fisheries Division of CMFRI have completed the task of compiling all recent information and analysed large amount of data collected pertaining to the Indian Oil Sardine in this document for the benefit of all stakeholders interested in knowing about this valuable fishery resource.

Abstract : India is one of the major elasmobranch fishing nations in the world. With growing concern over issues of conservation and management of elasmobranch resources in Indian waters, particularly of those species that are vulnerable to over-exploitation there is a need to strengthen reporting of species-wise catch and trade data. Proper identification of elasmobranch species poses many challenges to researchers, stakeholders and policy implementing agencies since there are a lot of taxonomic ambiguities with a high degree of overlap of several identifying characters, added to the fact that these resources lack external meristic characters that can easily help with their identification.
Species-wise catch estimates are important in assessing status of fisheries stocks and knowledge of prominent characters that can aid easy and almost accurate identification of a specimen in the field. This assumes much importance in light of the fact that ICAR-CMFRI’s catch monitoring surveys are carried out at fish landing centres where the catches are disposed of at great speed, affording very little time for detailed examination of specimens.

Abstract : A new Marine Biodiversity Museum was established at Kochi following the
shifting of the headquarters of the Institute from Mandapam to Kochi. The
Museum was inaugurated by Padma Vibhushan Prof. M.S. Swaminathan on
4th February 2006. The museum now holds around 2300 specimens of various
categories such as fishes, echinoderms, molluscs, crustaceans, corals, seaweeds
etc. These specimens are of fundamental importance to taxonomic, systematic
and biodiversity studies. The first catalogue on Marine Biodiversity Museum
comprised of specimens belonging to all the groups was published in 2012. The
present catalogue prepared by the Marine Biodiversity Division of the Institute
is expected to update the present status of the specimens in the museum as
on March 2017. I am happy to bring out this catalogue in the year of Platinum
Jubilee celebrations of CMFRI (1947-2017). The help and support extended
by the previous Directors of CMFRI and Museum-in-charges are gratefully
acknowledged.
Majority of the specimens in the Museum represents the collections made by
scientists of CMFRI as part of their research activities. The keen interest shown
and the sincere effort put in by the scientists of the Institute in building up this
Museum as an invaluable gift to those who pursue science need special mention.
They have deposited their valuable specimens in the Museum and contributed
in one way or the other to bring it to the present status. I congratulate all
those who have been involved in the collection, preservation, identification and
cataloguing of the specimens in the Marine Biodiversity Museum.
