From the Director's Desk / x…n‰∂…EÚ E‰Ú b‰∫EÚ ∫…‰As the aquaculture sector in

India is gaining momentum, it

is imperative to discuss more

about the safety of aqua-

culture products. As per the

recent estimate by FAO (State

of Fisheries and Aquaculture,

2016), production of aquatic

animals from aquaculture in 2014

amounted to 73.8 million tonnes, with

an estimated first-sale value of US$

160.2 billion. This total comprised

49.8 million tonnes of finfish (US$

99.2 billion), 16.1 million tonnes of

molluscs (US$ 19 billion), 6.9 million

tonnes of crustaceans (US$ 36.2 billion)

and 7.3 million tonnes of other aquatic

animals including amphibians (US$

3.7 billion). It is anticipated that future

growth in fisheries sector would come

from aquaculture, but major challenge

would be food safety, high standards of

quality assurance and SPS require-

ments. The major food safety hazards

encountered in aquaculture products

are environmental-induced (natural and

anthropogenic), processing and

handling, distribution and consumer-

induced.

Bioburden of antibiotics and other

pharmacologically active substances in aquatic

products is another issue that needs urgent

intervention. Compared to earlier days, western

countries have substantially reduced use of antibiotics

with development of vaccines, probiotics and

improved farming practices. In India in absence of

an apparent regulatory framework, extra label use

of some antibiotics as well as unauthorized use of

some veterinary drugs are reported. Use of antibiotics

results in possible development of resistance in human

pathogens as well in the resident aquatic microflora.

Increase in oxytetracycline and oxolionic acid

resistance in normal fish microflora has been reported

from various parts of the world, where such

antibiotics were used predominantly as part of

farming regimen. From tropical aquaculture farms

including India, antibiotic resistance has been mostly

reported from Plesiomonas shigelloides, Aeromonas

hydrophila and pathogens like Salmonella, which is

quite alarming. ICAR-CIFT is addressing some of these

issues in collaboration with ICAR-CIBA in the All India

Network Project on Fish Health. Pharmacodynamics

of some of the major antibiotics along with

withdrawal time are being worked in most of the

commercially aquacultured species. India needs

systemic and architectural changes in regulation of

food from aquaculture and fisheries. For pesticide

and antibiotic residues it is highly imperative to

establish a National Residue Monitoring Plan and

creation of National Residue Database on digital

platform. Further, regulatory agencies must take

immediate steps to phase out growth promoters and

prophylactic agents from aquaculture practices. ICAR-

CIFT is undertaking the monitoring and surveillance

of these specific hazards across the country, which

would be later on integrated with the National Risk

Assessment Framework.

In this context, I take this opportunity to extend

my best wishes to all the staff of the Institute for

their untiring endeavour, dedicated service and

sincere work for which the Institute has been adorned

with lot of accomplishments and honours during the

period. My heartfelt thanks goes to the new editorial

team for their sincere initiatives to bring out the issue

of ICAR-CIFT Newsletter with a facelift. I hope each

and every staff of the Institute will render their best

possible effort to make ICAR-CIFT, an institution par

excellence.

During the quarter the following outreach programmes

were conducted by the Institute:

� Awareness-cum-demonstration programme on

'Making of square mesh codends in trawl nets' at

Munambam on 23 July, 2016

� Training programme on 'Hygienic fish handling' at

Athirappily, Thrissur on 3 August, 2016.

A team comprising of Dr. A.K. Mohanty, HOD, EIS, Dr. V.

Geethalakshmi, Principal Scientist and Shri K.D. Jos, Sr.

Tech. Officer conducted a need assessment survey in

Kanjirapuzha village in Palakkad district of Kerala on 9

September, 2016 to assess the needs and problems of the

Kanjirapuzha SC/ST Reservoir Fisheries Co-operative

Society. The team

conducted a group

meeting with the

villagers which was

attended by 18 SC/ST

fishermen of the

Society. Shri Dinesh

Babu, Member and

Shri Kunjekkan,

President of the

Society facilitated

the meeting to have

a complete dissec-

tion of the problems

and needs through

SWOT analysis. The

fishermen discussed

the various fisheries-

related activities and constraints faced by them. Then the

team made a transect walk around the reservoir site to

assess the locally available resources and the prevailing

resource management system adopted by the village

Society. The major concerns of the Society as assessed

during the survey were irregular stocking, non-availability

of suitable and safe craft for fishing, absence of durable

fishing gear and damage by otters. It was suggested to

the Society to form a village level risk management

committee and to create a risk management fund for

sustaining the possible intervening activities in future.

Around 572 fishing vessels operate from Munambam

fishing harbor and livelihood of thousands of fisherfolk is

based on fisheries and allied activities in the village. The

fisherfolk of the village are progressive and are adept in

receiving technology interventions in their activities once

convinced about the benefits. During the initial visits to

the village, a need assessment study was undertaken by a

team of scientists comprising of Dr. A.A. Zynudheen (Team

Leader), Dr. V. Geethalakshmi, Dr. V. Murugadas, Dr. N.S.

Chatterjee and Shri P.N. Jha through field visits and

interactions with the stakeholders. Also responsible fishing

technologies developed by the Institute were popularized

by distributing pamphlets and other publications. The

fisherfolk expressed a need for training on fabrication of

square mesh codend during the interactions.

Based on the requirement from the fishing

community, a training programme on 'Fabrication of

square mesh codend' was organized on 23 July, 2016 at

Munambam. During the inaugural session, Dr. V.

Geethalakshmi, Principal Scientist, ICAR-CIFT welcomed

the participants and outlined the role of fishermen in

responsible fishing. In the felicitation address Smt. Sunila

Devassy, Member of the Panchayat requested the

fisherfolk to derive maximum benefit from the training.

Dr. V.R. Madhu, Senior Scientist explained the square mesh

codend gear in detail, especially its performance during

the fishing operations on reducing juvenile catch by

increasing the square-mesh codend circumference and

selectivity and at the same time how the gear avoids

escapement of mature fishes. The fabrication of the gear

was demonstrated by Shri P.S. Nobi, Technical Officer.

Around 30 coastal fisherwomen and men participated in

the training programme. One unit of square-mesh codend

gear was given to a fishermen of the village who came

forward to conduct trials using the gear and provide

regular feedback.

The scientists of Mumbai Research Centre of ICAR-

CIFT made base line survey in the five adopted villages
