Shrimp, mussel & fresh water fish farming can offset tourism, mining losses: CPIE

Panaji, Jan 6 (UNI) Organized shrimp, mussel and fresh water fish farming in the interiors of Goa or in Goan villages can more than offset the losses caused to local businesses and villagers due to the slump in tourism caused due to Covid pandemic and the closure of the mining business in the state, according to Centre for Promoting Indian Economy.
Shrimp farming is an aquaculture business that exists in either a marine or freshwater environment, producing two to three varieties of shrimp or prawns for human consumption. Freshwater fish is cultivated in ponds or trenches created specially for the purpose and about 40 to 60 percent of it is consumed by the fish processing industry.
While the coastal areas of rural Maharashtra including villages in Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg have taken up aquaculture in a very big way, Goa is still dependent on tourism for its revenue, a mistake that is now very apparent to Goans across the state, thanks to the Covid pandemic.
