CAGE CULTURE OF FISH THEIR TREND,STATUS AND PRODUCTION Ashish sahu
Cage culture is an aquaculture production system where fish are held in Cage. Cage culture of fish utilizes existing water resources but encloses the fish in a cage which allows water to pass freely through the enclosures and the surrounding water body. Cages are used to culture several types of shell fish and finfish species in fresh, brackish and marine waters. Cages in freshwaters are used for food fish culture and for fry to fingerling rearing.
In 1950s modern cage culture began with the initiation of production of synthetic materials for cage construction. Fish production in cages became highly popular among the small or limited resource farmers who are looking for alternatives to traditional agricultural crops. The mesh size of the cage is kept smaller than the fish body. In India cage culture have been attempted first for Air breathing fish. Cage mesh netting made from synthetic material that can resist decomposition in water for a long period of time. Cage are used to culture several type of shell fish and fin fishes in fresh , brackish and marine water. Cage in fresh water are used for food fish culture and for fry to fingerling rearing. Cages are generally small, ranging in freshwater reservoirs from 1 square meter (m2) to 500 m2.

1) Mud crabs undergo a complex life cycle beginning as larvae called zoea, which go through five zoeal stages and one megalopal stage before metamorphosing into juvenile crabs.
2) As juveniles, they migrate to estuaries where they mature over 18-24 months. Mature males and females mate, after which the females migrate offshore to spawn millions of eggs.
3) The eggs hatch into zoea larvae, restarting the cycle, with spawning occurring year-round in the tropics and during late spring to mid-autumn in subtropical and warm temperate areas.

Traditional aquaculture practices have been used in India for centuries, as documented in ancient texts. These include brackish water shrimp and fish farming using tidal flows. In western India, Bhery culture involves constructing ponds surrounded by earthen dykes, with sluice gates to control tidal water entry and drainage. Sea water and naturally occurring plankton and organic matter support fish growth. In southern India, Pokkali fields use similar tidal flooding of rice paddies for shrimp culture after the rice is harvested. These traditional low-input methods continue today in some areas, though productivity is low.

Hatchery management of Trout & present status in india ,riteshRitesh chandravanshi
This document discusses seed production of trout. It describes the reproductive biology of trout and important trout species. It then outlines the different units of a trout hatchery - the broodstock unit, egg taking and milt collection unit, incubation unit, and larval rearing unit. It provides details on the processes that take place in each unit, including water quality parameters and incubation times. Lastly, it reviews the current status and production of trout farming in India and provides strategies to improve the industry.
This document discusses various methods for controlling aquatic weeds in freshwater fish ponds and water bodies. It describes how aquatic weeds compete with fish for oxygen and food, providing habitat for predators. Free-floating weeds can be removed by hand-picking or netting and then burning to eliminate seeds. Emergent and submerged weeds with roots are harder to remove but can be controlled using weed harvesters, chemicals like paraquate and ammonia, or biological controls like introducing grass carp that eat the weeds. Algal blooms also need to be controlled as they can smother fish and deplete oxygen. Proper pond maintenance helps prevent issues with aquatic weeds and algae.
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.
This document provides information on lobster culture and its management. It discusses the important lobster species for culture, their habitat and feeding habits. It describes the breeding technology, seed collection methods, and hatchery and nursery management practices. Grow-out can be done using land-based tanks or sea cages. Key water quality parameters and stocking densities are outlined. Finally, common diseases affecting farmed lobsters are identified along with control measures.
The principle of integrated fish farming involves farming of fish along with livestock or/and agricultural crops.. This type of farming offers great efficiency in resource utilization, as waste or by product from one system is
effectively recycled. It also enables effective utilization of available farming space for maximizing production.
•The rising cost of protein-rich fish food and chemical fertilizers
as well as the general concern for energy conservation have created awareness in the utilization of rice and other crop fields and livestock wastes for fish culture. Fish culture in combination with agriculture or livestock is a unique and lucrative venture and provides a higher farm income, makes available a cheap source of protein for the
rural population, increases productivity on small land-holdings
and increases the supply of feeds for the farm livestock.
Scope of Integrated Fish Farming
The scope of integrated farming is considerably
wide. Ducks and geese are raised in pond, and pond- dykes are used for horticultural and agricultural
crop products and animal rearing.
The system provides meat, milk, eggs, fruits,
vegetables, mushroom, fodder and grains, in
addition to fish.
Hence this system provides better production, provides more employment, and improves socio- economic status of farmers and betterment of rural economy.
Classification of Integrated Fish Farming
Integrated fish farming can be broadly classified into two, namely Agriculture-fish and Livestock-fish systems
Agriculture-fish systems- Agri-based systems include rice-fish integration,
horticulture-fish system, mushroom- fish system, seri-fish system.
Livestock-fish systems- Livestock-fish system includes cattle-fish system, system, pig-fish system, poultry-fish system, duck-fish system, goat-fish system, rabbit-fish system.
Integrated fish farming systems refer to the production, integrated management and comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture and livestock, with an emphasis on aquaculture. Asia has a long and rich history of integrated fish farming. Written records from the first and second centuries B.C. documented the integration of aquatic plant cultivation and fish farming. From the ninth century, records showed fish farming in the paddy field. From the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, there were records of rotation of fish and grass culture; and by the 1620s, the mulberry-dike fishpond, the integration of fish and livestock farming and complex systems of multiple enterprises integrated with fish farming were developed. Integrated fish farming is the methods by which fish is cultured along with paddy, piggery, poultry or any livestock, or flower culture.

Integrated fish farming systems refer to the production, integrated management and comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture and livestock, with an emphasis on aquaculture. Asia has a long and rich history of integrated fish farming. Written records from the first and second centuries B.C. documented the integration of aquatic plant cultivation and fish farming. From the ninth century, records showed fish farming in the paddy field. From the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries, there were records of rotation of fish and grass culture; and by the 1620s, the mulberry-dike fishpond, the integration of fish and livestock farming and complex systems of multiple enterprises integrated with fish farming were developed. Integrated fish farming is the methods by which fish is cultured along with paddy, piggery, poultry or any livestock, or flower culture.
Fish Hatchery Management for Maintaining the Genetic Quality
Artificial propagation of fish species in hatcheries has been conducted on a large scale for several decades
In recent years, conservation hatcheries aims not only to produce fish for supplementing wild populations but also to preserve the genetic diversity and integrity of threatened or endangered species
Important considerations are maximizing genetic diversity and effective
population size while minimizing inbreeding and adaptation to captivity
Objective
To maintain the genetic diversity, effective population size and to minimize inbreeding
This document discusses mud crab and lobster culture in India. It provides information on the four main species of mud crabs found in the Indo-Pacific region - Scylla serrata, S. olivacea, S. tranquebarica, and S. paramamosain. Mud crab farming is done commercially using grow-out and fattening methods in ponds. Three commercially important lobster species for India are also described - Panulirus polyphagus, P. homarus, and P. ornatus. Their life cycles and biology are summarized. Lobster farming can be done by growing juveniles in ponds to market size or fattening medium sized lobsters. Optimal water
Groupers belongs to the family Serranidae.
⚫ Groupers are classified in 14 genera of the subfamily Epinephelinae, which comprises at least half the approximately 449 species in the family Serranidae.
⚫ Several grouper species have been raised on a commercial scale, but mostly by growing out captured wild juveniles.
cage-culture
Culture of fishes in meshed boxes placed in water is called cage culture.
It is an intensive method of aquaculture.
Cage culture is practiced in areas where there is sufficient water movement.
It is done in river, lakes, estuaries & seas.
Asian sea bass (Lates calcarifer) is an important species for aquaculture in Southeast Asia. It can be cultured in both freshwater and saltwater. Major issues in sea bass culture include cannibalism in young stages, dependence on high protein feed sources, and unpredictable wild fry availability. Sea bass nursery rearing is typically done in earthen ponds, concrete tanks, or net cages with fry stocked at high densities. Grow-out is usually done in ponds or cages at lower stocking densities, feeding on trash fish. Sea bass polyculture with tilapia is also common, with sea bass reaching market size of 600g within 4-5 months.
This document provides information on the breeding and seed production of various catfish and trout species that have potential for aquaculture in India. For most species, captive broodstock are raised and induced to breed using hormones. Eggs are hatched and larvae reared with live feeds before weaning onto formulated feeds. Breeding technologies have been adopted to produce seed for farming of species such as magur, singi, pabdah catfish and rainbow trout. Overall, the document outlines best practices for induced breeding, hatchery and nursery rearing of important fish species.
Wetlands are... areas where a water table is at, near, or just above the surface
and where soils are water-saturated for a sufficient length of time such that excess
water and resulting low soil oxygen levels are principal determinants of vegetation
and soil development. wetlands will have a relative abundance of obligate
hydrophytes in the vegetation community and soils featuring “hydric” characteristics.

This document provides information on fish health management including:
- Common bacterial, viral, parasitic, and fungal diseases affecting fish and shrimp, along with the causative pathogens. Examples include vibriosis, edwardsiellosis, saprolegniasis, and monodon baculovirus disease.
- Nutritional diseases in fish due to deficiencies of proteins, fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals.
- The nonspecific and specific immune defenses of fish, including antibodies, T cells, B cells, and memory cells.
- Methods for diagnosing diseases, including PCR, RT-PCR, and ELISA.
This document summarizes an aquaculture feed manual published in 1993. It discusses the importance of feed in aquaculture and factors that affect feed design, production, and feeding. Key nutrients like energy, protein, amino acids, lipids, fatty acids, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals are explained in terms of their roles and requirements in fish and prawn nutrition. Ingredients of animal and plant origin used in feed formulation are described along with processing methods. Feeding strategies like rate, frequency, particle size are also covered.
This document provides a guide for USAID staff and partners on designing programs to reform capture fisheries and aquaculture sectors. It aims to ensure environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and social responsibility. The guide emphasizes reducing threats to biodiversity and ecosystem productivity through improved governance and more integrated management practices. Well-designed programs can reform fisheries and aquaculture to reduce environmental and social impacts while increasing productivity, incomes, and livelihoods. The guide addresses key questions on how to design, implement, and evaluate responsible fisheries and aquaculture programs.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document provides information about ornamental fish culture and the ornamental fish industry. It discusses how ornamental fish keeping began as a hobby and has grown into a large international business. Key points include:
- Ornamental fish production is an important part of the aquaculture industry and global ornamental fish trade is estimated at over $14 billion.
- Over 1,800 species of ornamental fish are in the market, with over 1,000 from freshwater origins. Major suppliers include Singapore, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
- India's ornamental fish industry is small at 1% of global trade but is growing at 14% annually. Tamilnadu, Kerala and West Bengal are major producers.

Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like depression and anxiety.
This document discusses ornamental fish breeding in India. It notes that India's share of the global ornamental fish trade is very small at only 0.008%, and that 95% of exports are currently based on wild collection rather than breeding. To sustain growth, it argues that the focus needs to shift to culture-based development and mass breeding of the many species that can be successfully bred in India. The document provides details on the technology, species, management practices, and financial requirements for starting an ornamental fish breeding project.
