Among the Taiwanese, fish is considered auspicious and a sym­ bol of bounty. This is because the pronunciation of “fish” (yü) is similar to that of “surplus” (yü), indicating abundance and pros­ perity. A fish specialty, with the fish preferably presented in its entirety, is a constant fare on the dining table during special occa­ sions. And in the true Taiwanese tradition, this most special dish is served as the last course, something truly worth waiting for, and remembered.

Mariculture has been contributing substantially to the global fish production in recent years. It accounted for about 29.2 per cent of world aquaculture production by value. It is a fact that India is still in infancy in mariculture production in the global scenario. Since mariculture is the only hope for increasing seafood production in the coming years, the research and development in this sector is of paramount importance. In fact, such thrust was not given in India and hence, it was felt necessary to develop viable seed production and farming technologies to develop mariculture. The R&D efforts in this direction yielded commendable results within a few years and Mandapam Regional Centre of ICAR CMFRI succeeded in captive breeding and seed production of two high value marine fishes namely, Cobia, Rachycentron canadum and Silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii for the first time in the country.

  • (DNR) – Fisheries Division Fish Hatcheries Performance – Fiscal Year 2019
    Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) – Fisheries Division Fish Hatcheries Performance – Fiscal Year 2019 The DNR Fisheries Division Fish Production Section (FPS) maintains and operates six extensive, cold water fish hatcheries, three of which also produce cool water species (Table 1). There are also several ancillary programs managed by FPS to provide the support necessary to run a quality fish stocking program. Those include Fish Health and Quality, Fish Stocking, Fish Marking, and Electronics. Table 1. Location of and species reared by Michigan DNR Fish Hatcheries Hatchery Name Location Species Reared Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery Mattawan (Van Buren County) Muskellunge, Walleye Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Harrietta State Fish Hatchery Harrietta (Wexford County) Atlantic Salmon Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Platte River State Fish Hatchery Honor (Benzie County) Atlantic Salmon, Walleye Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Oden State Fish Hatchery Alanson (Emmet County) Arctic Grayling Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Thompson State Fish Hatchery Thompson (Schoolcraft County) Walleye Brook Trout, Lake Trout, Splake Marquette State Fish Hatchery Marquette (Marquette County) (Hybrid) Recreational fishing in Michigan is a significant economic driver, estimated at $2.3 billion. Fish stocking is one of the few tools available for fisheries professionals to use in managing the state’s world-class fisheries. Fish are stocked for three primary reasons: • Provide diverse fishing opportunities (e.g. walleye, steelhead) • Maintain ecosystem balance (e.g. Chinook salmon) • Rehabilitate depressed fish populations (e.g. lake sturgeon) The following summarizes the performance of the six DNR fish production facilities in five areas of focus during fiscal year 2019. Broodstock Management Broodstock management includes rearing and maintenance of captive brood populations at Oden Hatchery and Marquette Hatchery, as well as collecting gametes from feral stock.
