Significant Achievements in the last 5 years
Technologies/Concepts/Findings
- Technology of Fattening lobster, Panulirus polyphagus in sea cages to the marketable size.
- Low cost, light weight, 4 metre GI cages with a depth of 2.5 metre was developed which are compatible for lobster farming in the open water off Veraval coast
- All-weather mooring design for gabion which can withstand the rough weather conditions during the monsoon.
- Establishment of a sea farm at Prabhas Pathan, Somnath that comprise 22 sea cages.
- An SST of > 26 0C was identified to be the preferred temperature for the spawning of Nemipterus japonicas under works carried out under NICRA.
