  • For the first time in India, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has developed a viable scientific method to cultivate Indian Pompano fish in ponds.
  • Pompanos are marine fishes.
  • The Indian government began the scientific study on Pompano in 2014.
  • The funding was provided by the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB).
  • The scientists also said that growing Pompano along with shrimp will increase the survival rate of the shrimp as the Pompanos breaks the life cycle of viruses that attack shrimps.
  • The government is currently planning to implement inter-cropping of Shrimp and Pompanos.
