This document provides information on the Fish Nutrition and Physiology Division of CIFA (Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture) in India. It outlines the division's mandate, thrust areas, achievements, facilities, and technologies. The division's mandate is basic and strategic research to develop feeds for freshwater fish. Its thrust areas include developing regional feed databases, studying amino acid and vitamin requirements, and optimizing non-conventional feed resources. Achievements include developing feeds for popular cultured species and evaluating agricultural byproducts as ingredients. The division offers feed testing and digestibility testing services and has developed several commercial fish feed products.
Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as the giant river prawn or giant freshwater prawn, is a commercially important species of palaemonid freshwater prawn. It is found throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the Indo-Pacific region, from India to Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

Prawn farming plays an important role in the economy of India. Despite of several problems, the practice of prawn farming has offered opportunity to increase incomes for farmers and associated groups. The future for prawn farming is bright but requires dynamism to exploit fully. The realization of its potential must be aided by improvements in production technology and hatchery operation. In addition, research in areas such as seed and feed production may need to be given particular attention, considering existing technology, the transfer, adaption and development of new technology.
Catfishes are the second major group of freshwater fishes. India, being a mega-diverse country, harbors 197 species of catfish. Catfishes, owing to their unique taste, are considered a delicacy for the fish consumers, but production of different indigenous catfishes through aquaculture is unexplored in India, although aquaculture contribution of some of the catfish varieties like Ictalurus, Silurus and Clarias spp. has been exemplary in the World scenario.

The purpose of this manual is to help trainers provide training-cum-demonstration support on fish pond management techniques. It can be used to teach farmers the concepts, skills and practices of good pond management that are vital for producing economically feasible yields and solving pond management problems.
In addition, this manual is useful as a quick-reference and self-help guide for fishery facilitators, fish farmers and extension workers. It is designed to arouse the interest of fish farmers and the general public, thereby stimulating greater investment in fish farming. This simple training and demonstration manual has the potential to greatly improve the practices of fish farmers and help promote rapid rural aquaculture development.
