Cage culture, which ensures a good yield, has become the latest rage among fish farmers in the district. According to many, cage farming carried out with quality fish seed is a risk-free method compared to others and it offers them a handsome harvest most times. While the method is popular in rural Kollam and islands such as Munroe Thuruthu, more and more farmers are opting for it of late. “Since there is a drop in marine catch, there are many takers for our fish. Most farmers who started cage culture are reporting good results and it is inspiring a lot of newcomers,” says Unnikrishnan, a farmer from Kallada.More Related News
