The Fisheries Department is looking forward to expanding the number of farms for brackish water shrimp aquaculture by rolling out a subsidy scheme under Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) launched in 2020.
There are about 900 brackish water shrimp farms in Nagapattinam-Mayiladuthurai belt. Area-wise, the cumulative spread of the shrimp farms will exceed 5,000 hectares, official sources said.
