Overexploitation of natural resources has disturbed harmonious balance between man and nature. Fisheries play an important role in the economy of India in generating employment, augmenting food supply, raising nutritional levels and earning foreign exchange. Therefore, now there is an urgent need of analyses based on appropriate technologies to meet the increasing demand of economically important fishes, which are in demand, to generate more protein-rich food and to ease pressure on conventional food
