Policy intervention for genetically improved varieties and restricting use of drugs, and block-chain enabled tracking of fish production also proposed
Kochi: Fishery scientists and experts from India and the United Kingdom have called for an Indo-UK partnership to achieve One Health Aquaculture concept in India. One Health Aquaculture approach implies achieving optimal health of the people, aquatic animals and plants, and the environment.
Throwing light on the concept at an Indo-UK joint workshop held here, experts said that while focusing on boosting production to meet growing seafood demand, it is equally important to improve the health of all involved in the value chain of the aquatic food sector.
The workshop was jointly organised by the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) of the UK government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI).
Indo-UK partnership
Funded by the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) of the UK Government’s Blue Planet Fund, the meet also called for Indo-UK partnership to facilitate research collaboration helping to improve safe and sustainable aquaculture production in India. This would help to support adoption of sustainable seafood practices, reducing the risk of negative impacts from unsustainable activities and subsequently improving the livelihoods, environments, and economies of the country.
Speaking at the workshop, Sally Taylor from the British High Commission said a higher level UK-India One Health partnership would set stage for the integration of the aquatic food system to One Health concept thereby addressing emerging realities and concerns at global level.
Block-chain enabled tracking of fish
The workshop also suggested novel initiatives like block-chain enabled tracking of fish production from farm to table as it helps improve the quality of the produce. In order to inculcate one health concept in India’s aquatic food sector, policy interventions for dissemination and management of genetically improved varieties and restricting use of drugs in human health and medicines used for veterinary, agriculture and aquaculture, it suggested.
Dr A Gopalakrishnan, Director of CMFRI said there are mechanisms that orient Indian aquaculture towards the One Health paradigm like National Surveillance Programme for Aquatic Animal Diseases (NSPAAD), Indian Network for Fisheries and Animal Antimicrobial Resistance (INFAAR), All India Network Project on Fish Health, Consortia Research Platform on Vaccine and Diagnostics, etc. However, he underscored the need for creating a national level agency to coordinate such different fragmented efforts.
