After continuous efforts for five years, the Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA) in Chennai has succeeded in developing broodstock and seed production technology of Mangrove Red Snapper, a fish species with good commercial value.
Known as ‘Seppili’ in Tamil, ‘Chemballi’ in Malayalam and ‘Tagoo/Thundava’ in Telugu, Mangrove Red Snapper is distributed in Indo-West Pacific waters and is a fast-growing species. The market price is between ₹400 and ₹600 per kg.

CHENNAI: In a major breakthrough, the Chennai-based Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA) has developed the country s first vaccine for deadly viral nervous necrosis (VNN) disease, which is currently affecting several species of fish.
Scientists say the VNN disease is a serious threat affecting many marine, brackishwater and freshwater fish causing up to 100% mortality in larval and early juvenile stages. The disease is caused by nervous necrosis virus (NNV). Red-spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus (RGNNV) is the only genotype prevalent in India and most other tropical countries. The disease is transmitted both vertically and horizontally. Infected adults remain as carriers and transmit the virus to offspring through eggs. The only practical way to control the disease and prevent vertical transmission is to vaccinate fingerlings and adult fish.
