dc.description.abstractIn the past few years India has registered phenomenal growth in aquaculture. The fisheries GDP has registered a growth rate of around 13%. In fact the share of aquaculture products exported has exceeded the quantity of marine catch exported with respect to prawns. The advantages of aquaculture production have gained widespread popularity, leading to a shift from agriculture to aquaculture utilizing the inland water bodies. Unlike marine waters the quality problems of freshwater bodies are many. There are also increased chances of contamination of freshwater bodies and culture ponds with domestic waste, sewage and industrial wastes. These wastes can enter into the tissue of fish/shellfish grown in these water bodies and cause health problems to the consumers. So far, no attention has been given to this hidden danger and there is no surveillance system in operation. Quality criteria are proposed for the water used for aquaculture as well as the fish/shellfish produced by aquaculture.en_US
