MARICULTURE ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ITS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT IN INDIA
Abstract
Environmental issues are mistreated in India, while allowing for mariculture practices, but unfortunately the environment suffers the most because of over use. The stress of mariculture over environment starts with the collection of fish seed, because the natural water body is till now the prime source of mariculture stocking materials. In mariculture ample of tons of water and exchange of that is needed periodically, but in our country we have a very little or in most of the cases don't have any wastewater handling facility in hatcheries or culture farms and that's why recycle of waste water or treat water before discharge to the nature is not possible till now. In most cases, the used water or wastage of mariculture is being released into the natural water body or a main river flow without any handling which leads to the disease outbreak, invasion of undesired species or foreign species, difference in biodiversity and ecosystem.
