Abstract : Carangids are highly diverse group of fishes characterised by varying body shape and size. From Indian waters, 60 species under 20 genera were reported. Members exhibit variation in morphologic & meristic characteristic and colour pattern and even sexual dimorphism,which often leads to mis-identification. This manual was prepared using striking macro-taxonomic characters for field identification of 20 genera and 57 species. Wherever applicable, morphometric and colour changes with growth and also sexual dimorphism are illustrated with pictures.

Abstract : Gastropods includes snails, slugs and their relatives is a hyper diverse with respect to number of species, structure and habitat and many other attributes. Gastropods are characterised by having single shell and an operculum. Widely ranging in size, the shell has been modified enormously in many groups. A total of 80,000 to 100,000 mollusc species are known world over. About 3271 species of molluscs are found in India, of which 1900 marine species of gastropods are known to date. These resources are exploited by either mechanised trawlers, bottom set gillnets or by diving. Very few species forms a regular fishery and most of them are obtained in smaller magnitude making them unnoticed. While these resources are smaller in magnitude compared to other fisheries, they play an important role as raw materials for the multi-million dollar ‘SHELLCRAFT INDUSTRIES’ world over. In India, the resource is harvested in almost all the landing centres of both the coasts. In southeast coast of India, where the most part of landings of marine gastropods are occurring is considered a hub of shellcraft industry. A total of more than 250 species has been recorded and representing forty odd families in gastropods. The Federation of Sea Shell Handicrafts Merchants Association (FOSSHMA), estimates around 90 active seashell handicrafts traders in India, comprising of 20 very active, 30 minimal functioning and 40 dormant units. The major destinations of export is found to be the United States of America, Australia, Europe, Japan, Philippines, Vietnam, Africa, Malaysia, Belgium, Croatia, England, Haiti Island, Sri Lanka,France, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa etc. The major species exported are Conus sp, Umbonium sp, Chicoreus ramosus, Lambis lambis, Babylonia spirata, B. zeylanica, Telescopium sp, Terebralia sp, Tonna spp and Cerithium sp. Around 20-25 species are imported by shellcraft industries and the major species imported are Busycon sp, Haliotis sp, Cypraea tigris, Mitrella sp. The major importing countries includes USA, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Australia, Philippines, Spain and other African countries. This picture book contains 165 photographs of seashells used in the Indian seashell industries clustered under the common name of the respective species along with vernacular (Tamil) names.

Abstract : Fisheries research is aimed at developing strategies for managing the resources for sustainability. Stock assessment is the tool employed in the determination of resources/ stock health status based on which management strategies are decided. Information on age of fishes is used in fish stock assessment models for the estimation of recruitment, growth and mortality parameters, which plays a fundamental role in the assessment of commercial marine fish resources. The conventional techniques used for estimating age of fishes involve tracing of modal progressions of length groups in the population through time. Age and related estimates for the same species by different workers with the help of the length frequency method has been found to be highly subjective. This necessitated validation of age estimates obtained by conventional means using a robust and dependable method. Findings on the formation of marks on the animal’s hard parts (calcified structures) on a regular and sometimes annual basis, formed the basis for the use of these structures for precise age determination in fishes. Recently, age information derived from calcified structures are in use for validating the age estimate obtained from other methods. The number of age validation studies has increased over the last several years following standardization and simplification of hard parts based ageing process. Considering the importance of this technique the process involved were compiled in this book for the benefit of researchers.

Abstract : Initiatives taken by ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute for the past two
decades paved the way for successful farming of many species of marine food fishes
and ornamental fishes in India. Availability of hatchery produced seed of cultivable
species has been the major bottleneck in the development of the farming sector.
To meet the demand for fish seed, research efforts were intensified on breeding
and seed production at CMFRI. There have been major breakthroughs in breeding
and seed production of cobia, silver pompano and a variety of ornamental fishes.
But seed production of many other fishes like groupers, snappers, Indian pompano,
anthias and damsels has been a problem because of the very small size of the
newly hatched larvae and the consequent difficulties in initiating the first feeding
of the larvae by the conventional live feeds employed in hatcheries. In this context,
with an objective of finding out the suitable species of copepods as live feed, their
effective production, harvest and utilization techniques, research activities have
been intensified at Vizhinjam Research Centre of ICAR-CMFRI.
First feeding of fish larvae is the most difficult task in fish larval rearing. The newly
hatched larvae of many species of marine fishes are very weak, without proper
vision or body functions. Suitable live food is the most critical factor for their survival
at this stage. An ideal live feed should be small, easily digestible, nutritionally rich
and should be easily available for the larvae. In general, copepod nauplii have all
these desirable qualities and in nature they are abundant and form the first food
of many species of fishes. Certain fishes have their larvae evolutionarily adapted for
feeding copepod nauplii. Reports have stated that the movement of copepod nauplii
stimulates feeding instinct even in the weakest larvae. Copepods are nutritionally
rich and do not require any enrichment. So copepod culture forms an essential
component in marine fin fish hatchery for feeding the fish larvae.

Abstract : Mariculture holds tremendous potential for fulfilling the demand of fish, as a source of dietary
protein in the country. Keeping this in hindsight, ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, for
the past several years has been trying to transform the mariculture sector of the country. In India, the
potential coastal water area available for mariculture includes about 8.9 million ha of inshore waters
for open-sea farming and 1.7 million ha of estuaries, backwaters, brackishwater lakes and swamps.
High valued finfishes, crustaceans, molluscs, seaweeds and other marine organisms, possessing
high reproductive capacity, short larval development, fast rate of growth, and physiological features
to adjust to wide changes in the environment are available in our coastal waters. A large number of
unemployed and under-employed fishermen exists who could advantageously take up coastal
aquaculture.

Abstract : The fisher folk of coastal India possess a rich repertoire of ancient knowledge and traditional wisdom with respect to various climate change related phenomena which they have made use of in their day to day fishing activities. This provides them, the rule of the thumb to be followed with respect to observed indicators or relationship with in events of climate change related inflections. These local fisher communities over centuries, have developed and implemented extensive mitigation and adaptation strategies that have enabled them reduce their vulnerability to past climate variability and change. However, the fact that this rich treasure house of indigenous wisdom which serves as a complement to modern scientific methods of adapting and mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change in fisheries has been largely ignored or rather receded into the mists of antiquity.
