2 EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR THE EMPANELMENT OF SEA CAGE FABRICATORS Background The National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB), Hyderabad under the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries (DAHDF), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India is the nodal agency in implementing the Blue Revolution Mission (Neel Kranti Mission). Blue Revolution Mission will have multi-dimensional approach to all activities concerned with development of the fisheries sector as modern world class industry in India. It will focus on tapping the full production potential and enhance productivity substantially from aquaculture and fisheries resources, both inland and marine. Substantially increasing the share of Indian fisheries in the export area would be a key goal. It will also ensure doubling the income of the fishers and fish farmers with inclusive participation of the socio-economically weaker sections and ensure sustainability with environment and biosecurity. The DAHDF and NFDB are implementing various schemes to promote sea cage farming in the maritime states. However, the basic requirement for the sea cage farming is the availability of farming system namely sea cages made with high quality material suitable for the farming operations during different agro climatic conditions. Hence, the technical specifications were prepared in consultation with the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institutes and State Fisheries departments. These technical specifications were deliberated with the sea cage fabricators and fishermen groups to get their views on sea worthiness and user friendliness of the design and material of construction. Accordingly the technical specifications for the sea cages were finalized to implement the scheme in all maritime states. It is expected that the sea cages will be fabricated and supplied by the fabricators to the fishermen groups and farmers eligible under this scheme in respective maritime states. Empanelment of Cage fabricators The cage fabricators fulfilling the desired experience will be empanelled based on the Expression of Interest submitted by them to the CMFRI. The CMFRI will empanel such cage fabricators and submit the list of eligible cage fabricators to the NFDB. The NFDB is expected to award the contract for fabrication of sea cages to these fabricators as and when required for the implementation of their scheme to promote sea cage farming, duly following the NFDB s administrative rules, financial rules and procedures. Scope of work It is proposed to empanel the cage fabricators to make HDPE cages based on the technical specifications prepared by the CMFRI and approved by the NFDB. The fabricators are expected to make the HDPE cages and other cage materials like inner nets, outer nets, bird nets, ballast
