India is the second largest producer of cultured fish and third largest producer of fish in the world. Despite, it is disheartening to note that its exploitation is not in commensurate with its vast potential. Though we have a plethora of research institutions, professionals, political will, government initiatives, progressive farmers and financial resources. There is some missing link which prevented the full exploitation. In this paper an attempt is made to trace such missing link and to offer a few suggestions for the development of this vital sector.
