Abstract

  Fisheries and Aquaculture are playing an important role in addressing nutritional and livelihood security, especially of the rural poor in developing countries. Fish are rich sources of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. The fats and fatty acids in fish, particularly Omega 3 fatty acids, are highly beneficial and difficult to obtain from other food sources. The growing gap between supply and demand globally will impact on the health and nutrition of low income families, unless efforts are made to increase the production to meet the growing demand. Aquaculture is the culture of Aquatic organisms under controlled conditions. Present concept of aquaculture incorporate culture of all aquatic organisms by following certain management techniques which includes water quality,choice food etc. and to protect them from unwanted predators, diseases, pollutants or any other things which are harmful to them. The aquatic organisms which are normally used for aquaculture for food purpose include fishes, prawns, shrimps, crabs, mussels and some live food organisms like algae and zooplankton.
