Abstract
Aquaculture is one of the most emerging sectors growing like industries, providing an ultimate livelihood option to a millions of peoples of India. The current aquaculture production is not able to meet the growing demand for fish due to intensification of human population. Aquaculture must have to move towards intensification to meet the rising demand, to contribute more effectively to the reduction of poverty and malnutrition, and to become ecologically more sustainable. New technologies will make it possible for sustainable aquaculture to become the new global standard. In order to improve the socio-economic condition of the farmers, this expansion of aquaculture production needs to take place in a sustainable way through the applications of new farming interventions viz. integrated farming, Aquaponics, Recirculatory aquaculture system (RAS), Neo-female Technology, Biofloc technology (BFT), Compensatory growth Technology etc.
