Super intensive systems involve very high stocking densities and use of water treatment technologies like recirculating aquaculture systems.
Freshwater, Brackish water and Marine fish culture of India by Dr. S. G. Chebbi
This document summarizes the history and current state of freshwater fish culture in India. It discusses how fish culture has ancient roots in India dating back thousands of years, but was traditionally small-scale. Technological advances like induced breeding in the 1950s revolutionized the industry. Carp culture is now a major economic activity, with scientific methods producing high yields. Different culture systems are used across regions depending on local conditions and resources. Freshwater fish culture continues to be an important and growing industry in India.
Disease management in aquaculture
This document discusses disease management in aquaculture. It notes that diseases can cause 10-15% losses in production and maintaining proper water quality parameters is important to prevent disease. It outlines major diseases affecting freshwater pond culture like parasites, fungi, bacteria, and algal blooms. Common disease symptoms in fish include loss of appetite, abnormal behavior, skin lesions, and gill discoloration. The document provides recommendations to prevent disease through best management practices like maintaining water quality, using certified seed, monitoring fish health, and contacting experts if diseases are observed.
Hatchery
A fish hatchery breeds and rears fish and shellfish through early life stages. Hatcheries produce larvae and juveniles to support aquaculture. They benefit the industry by allowing for out of season production, genetic improvement through selective breeding, and reducing reliance on wild-caught juveniles. A hatchery consists of tanks for rearing larvae and holding broodstock. Key components include water storage tanks, larval rearing tanks, postlarval holding tanks, and equipment for water filtration, aeration, heating and monitoring water quality. Hatcheries are designed based on the target species' biology and local conditions like water availability.
Trasportation of fish seed.
Fertilized fish eggs are known as Fish seeds. In simple words, they are the baby fishes used for seeding new Ponds in fisheries. Fish seed transportation is a process by which transfer of fish seed from the hatchery or place of collection to the rearing ponds.
Freshwater aquaculture 2nd sem (full syllabus)
Freshwater aquaculture production has grown significantly worldwide in recent decades. The document discusses the definition and origins of aquaculture, noting that it originated much later than agriculture due to difficulties in appreciating aquatic environmental parameters. It provides statistics on global aquaculture production in 2009, with China as the top producer. The majority of production occurs in freshwater environments. Carps make up the largest portion by volume. India has considerable freshwater resources and biodiversity of cultured fish species, with carp culture being the main focus.
Coldwater fisheries ppt

Lecture 2. aquaculture systems methods_and_types - copy
Aquaculture involves farming aquatic animals and plants in controlled environments. There are several types of aquaculture including freshwater, brackish water, and intensive, semi-intensive, and extensive systems. Proper water quality monitoring and fertilization are important to maintain a healthy environment for growth. Common aquaculture activities include culturing fish, prawns, and shellfish through various stages from hatcheries to harvest.

Pen-Culture.pptx
Pen culture involves holding culturable aquatic organisms in enclosed spaces surrounded by nets or fences while maintaining water flow. It originated in Asia in the early 1920s and was later introduced to freshwater lakes and reservoirs. Pens are usually built in shallow waters and consist of barriers made from various materials like concrete, wire mesh, or nylon nets. Common species cultured in pens include various carp, milkfish, tilapia, and prawns. While pen culture provides benefits like increased production and growth, it also faces challenges like damage from predators, fouling, and poor harvest recovery rates. Overall, pen culture is best suited for extensive or semi-intensive aquaculture.
Water quality management in aquaculture production system aqc 601
This document discusses water quality management for aquaculture production systems. It covers several key physio-chemical properties of water including temperature, turbidity, salinity, alkalinity, pH, hardness, and dissolved oxygen. For each property, the document discusses the optimal ranges for different fish species as well as how the properties can affect fish and shellfish health, growth, and survival. Treatment methods to adjust the properties when outside the optimal ranges are also provided.
Lecture 3. farming methods
This document discusses different farming methods for aquaculture, including cage culture, pen culture, and sewage-fed culture. Cage culture involves rearing fish in an enclosed water volume using net cages suspended from floating frames. Pen culture uses barriers like nets or fences to partition off areas of water bodies for fish culture. Sewage-fed culture utilizes treated sewage as fertilizer to promote plankton growth and increase fish production. Primary and secondary treatment methods are used to process sewage before use in aquaculture.
Zero water cultu. sys.(ras) me
The document discusses closed aquaculture systems known as recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). RAS recirculate water through filtration processes to maintain water quality while minimizing exchange with natural waterways. They intensively culture aquatic species indoors in tanks. RAS require precise control of various water quality parameters and filtration of solid wastes to remove toxins like ammonia. While more expensive initially than other aquaculture, RAS allow intensive year-round production with minimal land and water use.
fungal disease in fishes
Fungal diseases can seriously impact fish populations. Three common fungal diseases are:
1. Saprolegniasis is caused by Saprolegnia fungi and is characterized by cotton-like fungal growths on the skin, gills, or eyes of fish. It can spread rapidly between fish and cause death.
2. Branchiomycosis (gill rot) infects gill tissues and is caused by Branchiomyces fungi. Infected fish have difficulty breathing and their gills may appear red.
3. Ichthyophonosis causes rough skin and white lesions inside the body and is caused by Ichthyophonus fungi. More severe infections result in organ
RECIRCULATORY AQUACULTURE SYSTEM
Recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) operate by filtering water from the fish (or shellfish) tanks so it can be reused within the tank. This dramatically reduces the amount of water and space required to intensively produce seafood products.
Fish feeding and feeding types
This document discusses fish feeding, including feed quality, storage, feeding correctly, selection, amount estimation, administering feed, feeding methods, frequency, response, assessing response, training fish, and managing wastes. Key points covered include the objectives of maximum growth, good health, and minimum waste; factors that influence feed quality like nutrients, processing, and storage; estimating feeding amounts based on fish size and weight; adjusting feeding based on monitoring and response; and techniques like hand feeding, demand feeders, and avoiding overfeeding.
Mullet Fish Culture
This document summarizes the culture methods for mullet fish. There are two main culture methods - monoculture and polyculture. The key steps include seed supply from wild or hatchery sources, nursery rearing for 4-6 months, on-growing using either monoculture or polyculture techniques in earthen ponds for 7-8 months, harvesting using nets, and handling and processing for fresh or chilled markets. Proper water quality maintenance, disease control, and analysis of production costs and market demand are also important considerations for mullet aquaculture.
Nutritional requirement of cultivable fin fish: larvae, juveniles and adults
Fish is among the healthiest foods on the planet. It is loaded with important nutrients, such as protein and vitamin D. Fish is also the world's best source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are incredibly important for human body and brain.
Manufactured feeds are an important part of modern commercial aquaculture, providing the balanced nutrition needed by farmed fish.
In the development of modern aquaculture, starting in the 1970s, fishmeal and fish oil were key components of the feeds for these species. They are combined with other ingredients such as vegetable proteins, cereal grains, vitamins and minerals and formed into feed pellets.
The global supply of fish meal and fish oil is finite and fully utilized. Alternative or nontraditional feedstuffs may differ in terms of taste, smell, texture, and color, as well as nutrient composition, from the traditional feedstuffs, which are produced largely from the natural prey of the fish being raised. Alternative feedstuffs may also contain compounds and antinutritional factors that affect digestive or sensory physiology.
Another important area of fish nutrition for the next 20 years will be larval fish nutrition. Currently, the cost and difficulty of rearing a great number of species from the first feeding to the juvenile stage are the most severe bottlenecks to the development of aquaculture production of nontraditional species.

Comparison of In-Pond Raceways vs. Open Pond, 2013, 07, 2007 pp
In-pond raceways have significantly lower variable costs than open-pond aquaculture according to the analysis presented. The key factors contributing to lower costs include higher production levels, improved feed conversion ratios, reduced fingerling needs, easier harvesting, and better health management. Return on investment for in-pond raceways is estimated to be less than one year even at higher feed costs, while open-pond aquaculture is not viable under the same assumptions.
Aquaculture Systems
There are four main types of aquaculture systems:
1) Cage systems use existing bodies of water and are inexpensive but fish can escape and water quality issues can arise.
2) Raceway systems require constant water flow and are more expensive but have high water quality.
3) Pond systems are most common but harvesting is difficult.
4) Recirculating tank systems use the least amount of water and allow easy harvesting but have the highest costs and potential for low water quality.

Diseño de tanques circulares para cultivo de pecesv
1) Circular tanks have several advantages for fish cultivation including a uniform environment, optimal swimming velocities for fish, and self-cleaning attributes due to solid waste being concentrated in the center.
2) "Cornell type" dual-drain culture tanks concentrate settleable solids by using a side-wall drain to withdraw the majority of solids-free water while a center drain collects solid waste.
3) Raceways can be an efficient design but present water quality gradients and require solids to be slowly swept down, so mixing quiescent zones helps concentrate solids for removal.
Fish as food
This document summarizes the biochemical composition and nutritional value of raw fish. It notes that fish are primarily composed of protein (15-28%), fat (1-8%), and water (55-83%). Fish protein provides essential amino acids and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. While cooking, canning, and preserving methods can impact vitamin and mineral content, fish overall provide a nutrient-dense food that is higher in protein and lower in fat than meat. The document also outlines several fish byproducts used for human consumption or other purposes, including fish protein concentrate, fish maws, isinglass, fish body oil, fish liver oil, chitosan, and shark fin rays.

Small scale cage culture involves growing fish in cages placed in ponds or lakes. It has some key advantages over other aquaculture systems like requiring a lower initial investment. A variety of fish species can be grown in cages, including bluegill, yellow perch, trout, bass, carp, tilapia, catfish and bullheads. Proper stocking densities and maintenance of the cages is important to avoid overcrowding and ensure good growth rates of the fish. Harvesting the cages requires care to minimize stress on the fish.
Introduction to aquaculture
Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, mollusks, crustaceans and aquatic plants. It involves organized production in aquatic environments through various methods ranging from extensive to intensive. The objectives of aquaculture include producing nutritious food, generating income and employment, utilizing land and water resources efficiently, and producing ornamental fish. Common aquaculture systems include pond culture, cage and pen culture, and monoculture or polyculture of various aquatic species.
3B - GIS-BASED ANALYSIS OF AQUACULTURE SITE SELECTION
Allen Brandt, UW Stevens Point GIS Center & College of Natural Resources
Aquaculture is one of the fastest growing food production systems in the world.The aquaculture industry in Wisconsin,
comprised of approximately 2,000 registered fish farms, contributes over $7 million to the state’s economy annually.
There are many species of game, food, and bait fish cultivated throughout the state in a variety of production systems. In
recent years, the growth of the aquaculture industry in Wisconsin has slowed and the number of registered fish farms is
beginning to decrease.The reason for the decrease in fish farms is not known, but it could be from the tough economic
times, high costs of production, limited markets, environmental restrictions, or the site location of the fish farms.The
objective of the study is to determine if the site location characteristics play a part in the success of the fish farm
operation.The utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create an evaluative model examining the
environmental and socio-economic characteristics of current registered fish farms and those that have closed.The
characteristics considered are land cover, soil types, elevation, water quality and source, and proximity to infrastructure
and potential markets.The evaluative model will then be used to create a predictive model using a multi-criteria
evaluation procedure using a GIS.The predictive model will be able to determine suitable locations for sustainable
system-specific and species-specific aquaculture facilities.
site selection criteria for cage culture
The document discusses site selection criteria for aquaculture parks. Key factors in choosing a suitable site include water depth, water quality, currents, shelter from wind and waves. The site selection process should apply precautionary principles, estimate production capacity for each zone, allocate a fixed number of license sites per zone, and avoid conflicts or sensitive habitats. Main biophysical factors to consider include depth, exposure, currents, tides, temperature, and salinity. Other factors include hazards, infrastructure needs, proximity to sensitive areas, potential for expansion, and legal/public acceptance considerations. The preferred process involves data collection, GIS analysis, identification and prioritization of potential zones based on criteria, and setting production capacity levels.
Cage culture
Cage culture involves confining fish or shellfish within mesh enclosures in existing water bodies like ponds, rivers, and oceans. Some key advantages are the flexibility to use different water resources with minimal initial investment. However, there are also disadvantages like the need for complete diets, high risk of disease transmission due to crowding, potential for localized water quality issues, and limitations to production yields. Cage aquaculture has rapidly expanded in recent decades and continues to adapt to growing global demand through clustering cages and developing more intensive cage farming systems.
Diatom - Overview
Diatoms are a major group of algae that are commonly found as phytoplankton. They have skeletons made of silica coated with organic material that come in a wide diversity of shapes, either radially or bilaterally symmetrical. Diatoms reproduce asexually through binary fission, where each daughter cell receives one of the parent's frustules and builds a new smaller one, causing population size reduction over time. To counter this, sexual reproduction through meiosis and fusion of gametes occurs, forming a large auxospore that grows into a maximum-sized new initial cell to start the next generation.
Basics of aquaculture – definition
This document defines aquaculture as the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, mollusks, crustaceans, and aquatic plants. It involves interventions like regular stocking, feeding, and protection from predators to enhance production. India has a long coastline and extensive water resources that are well suited for aquaculture.

Human impact on wildlife habitat
Human activities like construction, agriculture, mining and development have significantly reduced wildlife habitats by fragmenting large tracts of land into small, isolated pieces. This fragmentation creates population problems for wildlife by preventing migration and reducing genetic diversity. Wetlands, forests and farmland - which can provide excellent habitat if managed properly - have also been degraded or destroyed. However, certain habitat alterations like leaving field corners unplowed can benefit wildlife by providing food and cover. Overall, human encroachment has placed great pressure on wildlife populations by destroying and fragmenting the lands they depend upon.
