Warm greetings from ICAR-CIBA

According to the projections, the overall world food production has to increase by 70% to get a suitable alignment with the rapidly rising world population by 2050. Fish as ‘nature’s superfood’, has a vital role to play in nutrition and food security for the future. While the world’s average annual per capita fish consumption is 19 kg/year, it is only 8-9 kg/year among the Indian fish-eating population, just half of the global figure. On the other hand, the wild catch many fish species is declining due to several factors. Therefore, aquaculture, which has already outpaced the capture fisheries, has been recognized as the most competitive option and looked up with a lot of expectations. This trend is predicted to continue, making aquaculture an essential part of future blue growth.
