Abstract: Offshore aquaculture is the practice of marine farming where the fish farm cages are placed further from the shores into deeper ocean areas. This helps in increasing the size of farms, reduces danger of accidents with marine traffic and the waste from cage is easily washed away with stronger currents in the open ocean. One major disadvantage is that such a cage requires sophisticated technology and large investments. India has over 8000 km of coastline with great potential for development of mariculture.
