(activity wise)
:
Phenology and Distribution
Geo-referred data collection of fishery resources including larval species was done
along the Indian coasts at various centres to assess species distribution, reproductive
stages, diet and catch composition along with investigations on relation with climatic
variable changes of identified species. Correlation studies of environmental parameters
with pelagic resources were done. Mangalore, Mumbai, Vizag, Chennai, Mandapam
centres have carried out zone-wise studies (mean size, Fecundity, HIS, GSI, Sex ratio,
ood and feeding, spawning, abundance) on selected commercial marine fishes. Larval
recruitment and distributions studies were also done at Mangalore and Vizag.
Climate change projections
The climatic projections of the environmental parameters viz., SST, SSS, SLR, Pr, Chl
and pH have been obtained for 2020 to 2100 as CMIP5 model output for different RCP
scenarios (2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5). Projected variations are being used as baseline for
catch and vulnerability forecasts.
Carbon foot print and blue carbon
Life cycle assessment of fishing operations for three phases Pre-harvest, Harvest and
Post-hHarvest were done for Kerala coast.
Carbon stock assessment of mangrove ecosystem were done for Dharmadon Estuary,
Kerala. Carbon sequestration potential of commercial seaweed biomass from Gulf of
Mannar were done.
Climate resilient technologies and products
Multivendor E-Commerce website and associated mobile app were developed as
interventions of ICT applications to improve fishermen and fish farmer livelihoods and
income improvement. Pretreatment and hydrolysis stages of seaweeds were done
towards biofuel production pathways. Biochar were produced from aquatic vegetation
(seaweed and water hyacinth) and applied in lab scale for representative pokkali-fish
system and yielded benefial implications.
Climate smart villages
Six coastal villages of Tamilnadu and one village at Karnaka identified as vulnerable
areas were adopted to further develop as climate smart villages. Training and
technology demonstrations has been carried out at selected coastal villages (Mandapam,
Alevkodi, Edakochi) on marine ornamental fish culture and harnessing positive effects
of climate change by capture based aquaculture, sea cage farming of high-value fishes,
low-cost cage construction, mooring of cages in the sea etc,. Awareness programs and
field demonstrations of cage culture and IMTA were also conducted. 5 Acres of
wetland restored and made suitable for aquaculture at Edakochi, Kerala.

Annexure II- Summary of work done
• Phenology & Distribution: Zone wise studies were being carried out at Mangalore,
Mumbai, Vizag, Mandapam and Chennai of selected marine species on parameters such
as Mean size, Mode, Fecundity, Hepatosomatic Index, Gastro-somatic Index, Gonado-
somatic Index, Food and Feeding, Sex Ratio, Spawning Season and Abundance (SST,
SSS, BST, SSH, DO).
• Spatio-temporal mapping of resources: Geocoded data collection of fishery resources
were done along the coasts of Mangalore, Mumbai, Vizag and Tamilnadu and analysed
for studies on reproductive stages and diet. The results of SST provided a baseline for
correlation of environmental parameters with pelagic resources. Correlation studies
were carried out on larval recruitment with climatic parameters (SST, Chl, Sea current).
Abundance of jelly fish were also investigated with environmental parameters.
• Carbon Footprint Assessment: Life Cycle Analysis of Kerala fishing harbours were
done and harvest phase was found to be with highest C footprint. Blue carbon stock
assessment of selected mangrove ecosystem of Kerala and carbon sequestration
potential of seaweeds along Gulf of Mannar are being carried out.
• Climate change projections (2020 - 2100): The climatic projections of the parameters
SST, SSS, SLR, Pr, Chl and pH has been achieved for Indian Ocean for 2020 to 2100 as
CMIP5 model output for different RCP scenarios.
• Technology Development: Multivendor E-Commerce website and Android App has
been developed to attain income improvement for coastal fishermen communities.
Technology development initiated for mariculture of Kappaphycus alvarezii using
vegetative propogation to yield higher harvest and the technology has been attempted at
Kochi. Pretreatment and hydrolysis of seaweeds has been attained towards biofuel
production pathway.Biochar production from aquatic vegetation (seaweeds and water
hyacinth) was done and its application as soil mixture and as fish feed resulted in
enhanced growth of pokkali as well as tilapia fish.
• Climate Resilient Village Development: Six coastal villages of Tamilnadu identified as
vulnerable were adopted to develop as climate smart villages. Around 52 fishermen of
15 coastal villages of Thoothukudi district, Tamilnadu were empowered fishermen to
harness positive impact of climate change by capture based aquaculture, sea cage
farming of high-value fishes, low-cost cage construction, mooring of cages in the sea.
Training programmes initiated to impart the already available technology of breeding of
major marine ornamental fishes to small scale fishermen/farmers at Mandapam,
Tamilnadu. Awareness programs and field demonstrations of cage culture of high value
fishes and IMTA were conducted. Village in Kundapura, Karnataka has been
demonstrated with climate resilient technologies. Wetland (5 acre) restored and made
suitable for aquaculture at Kochi, Kerala.
Annexure III: Results in detail (give detailed account of results obtained with data,
tables, pictures etc.)
Phenology and Distribution change
Spatio temporal mapping of resources
Geo-referred data collection of fishery resources were done along the coasts of Mangalore,
Mumbai, Vizag and Tamilnadu and analysed for studies on reproductive stages and diet.
Distribution of Threadfin breams off Mangalore
The experimental fishing done during 1993-95 covered depth range from 50- 200 m and
maximum abundance of threadfin bream was 500-600 kg/hour while that during 2013-15
was about 250 kg/hr Comparison of the catch/hr data in the same location shows slight
reduction in the catch rate at present. The temperature maximum during 1993-95 was
28.65oC and minimum was 28.41
oC while during 2013-15 it was 29.85
oC and minimum
was 29.54oC. A relation between threadfin bream distribution and SST was observed.
Larval distribution and recruitment off vizag
A preliminary analysis of presence of larvae collected within 20m -50m depth areas with
oceanographic variables indicated that the presence of crustacean larvae had good correlation
with Sea Surface Temperature. A correlation coefficient of 0.35 was obtained between
crustacean larvae and Sea Surface Temperature. The crustacean larval presence showed
positive correlation with Chlorophyll a values. A correlation coefficient of 0.17 was obtained
between crustacean larvae and Chlorophyll a values. The correlation coefficient was negative
for presence of crustacean larvae and Sea current. A correlation coefficient of -0.26 was
obtained between crustacean larvae and Sea current. The main type of larvae seen were that
of mysis and post larval stages of the shrimps, alima stages of the stomatopods and crab zoea
and megalopa stages. The main type of fish larvae were seen was that of croakers, puffer fish,
ribbonfish, Carangids and Polynemids with croaker larvae dominating the samples. Fish eggs
with embryonic development inside and Jellyfish (either small or big sizes) were collected in
all months.
Catch composition and upwelling in Maharashtra coastal waters
The catch composition in relation to upwelling clearly shows difference in the species
during post monsoon and pre monsoon season. Most of the species (37 Nos) found rich
during post monsoon were the signature species of upwelling reported at southern part of
India
Mysis stage of shrimp, Alima stage of stomatopods, Zoea stage of crab and Megalopa stage of crab
Six species of jelly fishes (Chiropsoides sp. Aequorea sp, Lychonorhiza sp., Chrysoara sp,
Rhopilema sp, Rhizostoma sp.) were identified from Maharashtra coastal waters and its
bloom in certain seasons affects the commercial fishing activities and livelihoods. It was
observed that jelly fish abundance is high during October, November and December
months. Pair plot of jelly fish abundance and selected explanatory variable shows
maximum correlation with salinity (-0.86) followed by bottom surface temperature (-0.78).
Pairplot of Jelly fish intensity and environmental variables
Carbon foot print and blue carbon
Blue carbon potential of mangroves and seagrass and Life Cycle Assessment of
fishing operations
The mean combined carbon stock (above ground, root and sediment) of mangrove
ecosystem were found to be 240.58 t C ha-1
and 137.45 t C ha-1
for the study areas of
Kerala at Dharmadom and Thalassery respectively. The highest C stock were recorded for
above ground followed by sediment carbon stock and root biomass.
The analysis of carbon assimilation potential of important seaweed biomass along Gulf of
Mannar revealed highest potential for Sargassum sp. (6736 tons of standing biomass) with
CO2 absorption of 379.9 t/day.
Life cycle analysis of fishing operations for Kerala coast shows highest emissions during
harvest phase followed by post harvest and pre-harvest phases.
Climate resilient technologies and products
Multivendor E-Commerce Website and Mobile App
A multivendor E-commerce website hosted as www.marinefishsales.com and associated
android application „marinefishsales‟ for use in android mobile phones has been developed.
This has been done in the context of mitigating the direct impact of climate change on
coastal communities livelihoods. The platform is an interface with administrative control
panel, vendor panels and user storefront with ICAR-CMFRI in an administrative role,
multiple coastal fishermen SHGs as vendors and consumers as users. Various fishermen
SHGs can register as vendors (fishers and farmers) based on their fish products and update
their stock availability under pre-approved categories and products, which shall be
displayed in the website and associated mobile app. Customers visiting the website or app
could place the order with payment options of cash on delivery, net banking or with
debit/credit cards and subsequently the registered vendor shall be notified through email
and SMS, upon which the quality products within the pre-assigned time frame shall be
delivered, enabling direct product sale between customers and SHGs. The profit could be
shared directly among the fisherfolk SHGs thus ensuring income improvement for
fishermen groups. Around 35 fishermen registered as vendors through the website. The
innovation incorporated is that, in contrary to typical e-commerce ventures where single
firm or company as major profit beneficiary, the developed e-platform envisions multiple
Kerala coast
fishermen self-help groups (SHGs) as beneficiaries. The solution got wide coverage in
national and regional print as well as visual medias.
Low cost feeds for Integrated Multi Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) species
Performance of blue swimmer crabs, Portunus pelagicus to formulated low cost feeds
showed significant difference in growth parameters such as weight gain percentage
(WG%), specific growth rate (SGR), average daily growth (ADG)and feed conversion ratio
(FCR) among the different treatments in both male and female sex (P<0.05). Male crabs
showed higher ADG, WG% and SGR than female crabs. blue swimmer crab, Portunus
pelagicus can be successfully cultured using pellet feeds with less FCR.
Biofuel production from seaweeds
Seaweeds (Gracilaria, Kappaphycus and Sargassum) were subjected to pretreatment using
hydrogen peroxide and bleaching of substrate was observed. Seaweeds after pretreatment
were subjected to acid hydrolysis and the reducing sugars estimated. Pretreatment and
hydrolysis steps are precursors to biofuel production pathways.

Conversion of water hyacinth to climate resilient product „Biochar‟ endorses the
sustainable concept of waste to resource conversion and ensures cheap substrate as raw
material. The experimentation of biochar incorporation on a representative pokkali-tilapia
system resulted in improved growth performance of Tilapi fish, Pokkali paddy growth
enhancement and water quality improvement. Weight and length of tilapia were found to be
enhanced in biochar mixed feed and the highest was recorded for 1 % of biochar mixed
feed system. Biochar mixed soil resulted in pokkali growth with highest observed in 4 %
biochar-soil mixture. Improvement in water quality profile were also observed in biochar
amended system. Slight changes were observed for pH, dissolved oxygen and total
alkalinity. The work demonstrates new horizons towards aquaculture application using
biochar generated from water hyacinth.

Trainings and Technology Demonstrations
At Sippikulam farms in Tuticorin, Tamilnadu coastal fishermen were empowered to
harness positive impact of climate change by capture based aquaculture, technologies of sea
cage farming of high-value fishes like cobia, sea bass and pompano, lobsters and also low-
cost cage construction, mooring of cages in the Sea. Field demonstrations were carried out
in Sippikulam farms by Integrating Multi-trophic Aquaculture (IMTA). Awareness
programme and field demonstration of cage culture potential for high value fishes and
Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture were also conducted.
Multivendor e-commerce training was organized on December 16th
2017 through NICRA
project to familiarize the developed e-commerce website and mobile app among fish
farmers and 28 participants (farmers, fishermens, SHGs and traders) underwent training.
On the next level, trial sales (on December 22nd
& 23rd
2017) were done to familiarize the
operational modalities of the e-venture. Farmer meet were arranged on 21.03.18 to fix
minimum base price, above which only sales shall be performed. Trial sales were further
carried out on last week of March and 1st week of April 2018 after which sales to public
were initiated. Training on „Fish processing and Packaging for E-Marketing‟ were also
arranged on 17.04.18 at KVK Njarakkal. Discussions have been initiated to engage
distributers to facilitate large volumes of sales.
Participatory mode of coastal vulnerable resource mapping meant to indicate the status of
different resources such as mangroves, sea grasses, coral reefs, fish farming etc., natural
calamities, environmental changes, anthropogenic activities and industrial development
occurred over the years to the present time in the respective villages were conducted at
Tuthukudi, Tamilnadu. The representatives from different coastal villages presented the
visible changes occurred in their respective villages owing to climate change and its effect
on fisheries, sea level raise, sea surface temperature, sea inundation and livelihood. The
fishermen expressed that the program was an innovative and useful one for them in
understanding the scope of adaptability to climate change.
Wetland Restoration for Aquaculture
A wetland of around 5 acre were restored and made suitable for aquaculture practice at
Edakochi, Kerala. Restoration works includes side bund construction and fortification of
sluice gates so as to enable aquculture practices in a large scale.
Village Adoption
Among the six highly vulnerable villages of Ramanathapuram district, Tamilnadu
identified through PARS, two villages namely Vadakadu (Rameswaram) and Chinnapalam
(Pamban) were adopted to develop as climate smart village. Village level meetings were
organized. Technologies on small-scale entrepreneurship for production of marine
ornamental fishes were disseminated to the selected fishers. Hands on training was given to
40 fisherwomen from Chinnapalam village, on broodstock development, breeding, larval
and juvenile rearing of clown fishes, grow-out techniques, livefeed culture, water quality
and disease management. The Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) clearly shows that the
majority of particpants attained medium to high level of achievement. Training
Effectiveness Index (TEI) revealed that most of the trainees perceived the marine
ornamental fish culture training programme as highly effective.
December 16th
2017
The Integrated District Level Adaptation and Mitigation (IDLAM) study conducted along
coastal Karnataka revealed that Udupi district has high climate related vulnerability index
(0.460) compared to Dakshina Kannada (0.418) and Uttara Kannada districts (0.362).
Udupi district is also vulnerable to accelarated sea level rise. A village named Alvaekodi,
Paduvari Grama panchayat in Udupi district was adopted to upgrade as “Climate Smart
Village (CSV)” through interventions that can facilitate sustainable increase in agricultural
productivity and income. An interactive meeting on climate smart technologies were held
with stakeholders. Hands-on training to alternate vocations (seaweed farming) were
provided to 40 fishermen participants. Kappaphycus was introduced from Tuticorin at
Alvekodi (Udupi) and Chaliyam (Calicut) estuaries and the growth monitored.
Annexure-IV: Results of significant value (highlight 1-2 significant results in 2
paragraphs which can be highlighted at the national level)
Multivendor E-Commerce website for Fishermen Income Improvement:
Multivendor E-commerce website (www.marinefishsales.com) and android app
(marinefishsales) has been developed to enable direct fish sales between multiple
farmers/fishermen groups and customers, thereby supporting farmers/fishermen to advance
in supply chain and to ensure income improvement. Fisher SHGs could register as vendor
through the website and update their stock details using the login credentials. Customers
through store front could make purchase of their choice and accordingly associated vendor
shall be intimated through SMS/email, upon which product shall be delivered on pre-fixed
delivery time slots. The innovation incorporated is that, in contrary to typical e-commerce
ventures where single firm or company as major profit beneficiary, the developed e-
platform envisions multiple fishermen self-help groups (SHGs) as beneficiaries.
Village adoption to develop climate smart village
Two villages of Tamil Nadu namely Vadakadu (Rameswaram) and Chinnapalam (Pamban)
of Ramanathanpuram district, and one viilage in Karnataka namely Alvaekodi, Paduvari
Grama panchayat in Udupi district, were adotped to develop as climate smart village,
through interventions that can facilitate sustainable increase in agricultural productivity and
income. On 7th
March 2018, first meeting of CSV was in Alvaekodi village at 10.30 am.
The meeting provided platform for interacting with experts in the field of agriculture,
horticulture, veterinary and fisheries on different effective climate smart technologies.
Seaweed farming technology was introduced for the first time along Karnataka coast by
CMFRI, Mangalore under NICRA project. Technology demonstrations and climate
resilient strategies implementation could empower the fishermen communities to climate
change vulnerabilities and impacts.
