To succeed today’s fast-evolving consumer world in Agro-Industry it is very difficult to meet the current demand and sustain with other fastest producing industries so, here we have taken Fish Farming in to consideration which will give more returns and provides better opportunity and security.

1. REPORT ON FISH FARMING
By : Pravas Ballav Goswami

2. Objective:
Production, Income Generation, Supplies,
Trading & Processing .

3. Introduction & Planning:
Profile
 Location : Jaleswar, Balasore.
 Land : Own land
Introduction
 Establish year of the farm : 2018
 Total farm area : 2.0 acre
 Number of farm building : 2
 No. Of Cold Storage : 1
 Total investment till now : for farm purpose 25 lakh

4. Fund raising:
I have started the production unit by contributions of 25
lakhs from Parents without taking any loan from the banks.
We have contacted the Block Agricultural Office for subsidy
and timely availability of raw material and guidance .

5. ACTIVITIES ON FISHERY FARM:
1.Pond Management:
 Clean the pond first to kill unwanted fish by Liming.
 Tillage is done using tractor for facilitating proper aeration, disease
prevention and removal of harmful ammonia.
 Water loading is done for up to 5 feet.
 Liming is done. For 1 acre approximately 200 Kg lime is used. 100
kg initially used and rest 100 kg in subsequent interval.

6.  After 7 days, for production of Zooplankton, 1000 Kg
cow dung and 10 kg SSP are added into the water.
 Prior adding to the mixture of cow dung and SSP is
fermented in a fermentation tank for more than 24 hrs.
 This process has to be practised for 4 to 5 times in 6 to
8 months.
 After a week 2000 fingerling were introduced 100 gm
each. So total weight of 200 kg of seed is given.

7. 2.Feeding:
 Mustard Oil Cake
 Groundnut Cake in Powdery Form.
[For calculation of amount of feed to be given, we have to
calculate 5% body weight of the seed weight. ]

8. 3.Fish Biomass:
 Fish biomass is done to analyse the amount of feed needed
for a growing fish.
 Fish biomass is done for 6 month in this case fish biomass is
done after one month with which10 fishes were randomly
collected from the pond and average of their weight is
considered.
 Suppose average weight of the fish is 120 gm. Every month
the feed that is given to the fish doubles. (Feed given in
initial starting days is in an around 200 gm.)

9.  The feed needed for 1 fish is 120 gm x 200 gm = 24,000
(i.e= 24 kg).
 For 10 fish, 24 x 10 = 240 kg So the feed that is given for 1
acre area of pond is = 5% of 240 kg = 12 kg of feed.
 It is practised every month to know the amount of feed and
the cost of feed.
 The weight of the fish increases with time and within
6months the weight per fish is increases up to 1 kg.

10. 4.Financial Statement:
Fixed Cost
Pond & Pump installation = 50,000/-
Variable Cost
Fingerling cost=40,000/- (6000 pcs)
Feeding Cost= 93000/-
Medicine Cost=5000/-
Labour cost= 60000/-
Netting cost=10000/-
Electric bill=5000/-
Harvesting Cost=5000/-
(Total Variable Cost=2,18,000/-)

11. Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
= 50,000 + 2,18,000
= 2,68,000/-

12. Total Return in 6 months
Return on 10% mortality (1st Harvesting)
Total Seed ( Fingerlings) = 6000 pcs.
As per 10% mortality it will become = 5400 pcs.
Total harvest (with 6000 fingerlings) = 38 quintal (3800 kg)
with 10% mortality it will become = [3800 X 5400]/6000
= 3420 kg (34.20 Quintal)
Per fish cost = 120/-
Total return after mortality = 3420 X 120 = 4,10,400/-
Total Profit upon 10% mortality = 4,10,400 – 2,68,000
= 1,42,400/-

13. B C Ratio after 10% mortality ( 1st Harvesting )
= 4,10,400 / 2,68,000
= 1.53

14. Return on 2nd Harvesting ( Excluding Fixed Cost)
Total Fingerlings = 5400 (10% Mortality)
Total Harvest = 3420 kg (34.20 Quintal)
Total Return = 4,10,400
Total Investment (Excluding Fixed Cost) = 2,18,000
(As per 50,000 is the fixed cost)
Total Profit = 4,10,400 – 2,18,000
= 1,92,400/-
BC Ratio = [4,10,400 / 1,92,400]
= 2.13

15. SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
 Availability of Water through out the year.
 Large Market Demand.
 Fluctuation in selling price is very low.
WEAKNESS
 Unavailability of labour.
 Easy spread of disease.

16. OPPORTUNITIES
 As there are no fisheries in nearby area, the demand for
this enterprise is more.
 Integrated Farming System
THREATS
 Easy transmission of diseases.
 Threats from birds.
