    Feeding more than seven billion people on earth through agriculture alone in an environmentally sustainable manner with nutritionally balanced diet is indeed a major challenge. Hence, people all over the world have started looking at aquatic resources as a major source for food production. The apprehension that Indian population may touch 1.75 billion by the middle of the 2Pâ century (Anon., 1994) calls for intensification of efforts to step up food production both from the land and water resources. With the constant encroachment of fertile agricultural land by the increased urbanization and industrialization, the extent of cultivable land is getting diminished. Therefore, the terrestrial ecosystem alone may not provide the necessary food security for the countries like India. Against this back drop, fish production by aquaculture practices is believed to play an important role in meeting the demand of proteinaceous food for the growing population. India is the largest country next to China in aquaculture production and accounts for nearly seven percent of the global aquaculmre output. Presently about 56% of the population in India is considered to include fish in their diet (Anon., 1996).
