Question
Write short note: Blue Revolution.
✓
Answer
- Utilization of aquaculture practices for obtaining edible and commercial aquatic organisms is called blue revolution.
- In East Asian countries where water bodies and fish population is abundant, the aquaculture was started.
- On similar lines, in India, the aquaculture of different fresh water and marine organisms is being done with the help of fishery scientists.
- Government of India has vowed to increase the aquaculture production by encouraging the people for aquaculture by launching the program ‘Nil- Kranti Mission-2016’ (NKM-16).
- Pisciculutre is culturing of fish, mariculture is culture of marine organisms such as prawns/shrimps and lobsters. Sea weeds, oysters, clams are also cultured.
- For carrying out aquaculture, 50% to 100% subsidies are offered by the Government.
- Fresh water fishes like rohu, catla and other edible varieties like shrimp and lobsters are being cultured on a large scale which can bring about Blue Revolution.
