Referring to India's huge shoreline and beneficial marine situations, the CMFRI Director contended that the nation has the pure potential and scientific functionality to emerge as a world mariculture hub, the discharge stated.
“If we undertake fashionable applied sciences and develop a robust coverage framework, mariculture can remodel the financial panorama of coastal India,” he stated, in response to the discharge.
as a Dependable and Trusted Information SupplyHe additionally identified {that a} nationwide mariculture coverage and supportive authorized framework have been required to advertise sustainable, large-scale funding and systematic progress on this sector, it stated. PTI
