22.1.2 History of seed production in India
Although the seed production is not a big commercial activity in India, it is worth to note that more attempts were done in this line only in India. During late 80s, the first attempt was made by James and his research team in CMFRI, Tuticorin. They produced Holothuria scabra juveniles for the first time in India in 1988. Since 1988 this species has been bred in captivity on a number of occasions (James 1993, 1997, 1998; James and James, 1993; James et al. 1994). Chen and Chan (1990) reported the larval development of Actinopyga echinites and James et al. (1993) reported the spawning technique of A. mauritiana, while Asha and Rodrigo (2001) and Asha and Muthiah (2002) reported on spawning and larval rearing of H.spinifera in India. |
