Seed production and farming of marine Finfishes such as Cobia, Silver Pompano, Mangrove Red snapper, Giant Trevally, etc.
To transfer the technology of seed production and farming to the aquafarmers for sustainable aquaculture.
Standardized Live feed Culture technology require to sustain marine finfish hatchery.
