Introduction #1
Bachelor's of Fisheries Science degree program is
designed to produce skilled professionals to meet
the demand and solve the problems of modern
society through sustainable, practical and scientific
approach.

5. ELP is a major component of student READY programme
aims to achieve professional skills and hands-on experience
with an approach of “Learning by Doing” and “Seeing is
Believing”.
It is taken up during 8th semester of four (4) year degree
program for the duration of five (5) months [March - July
2022]
Dept. of Aquaculture has chosen "Integrated Semi-intensive
Aqua Farming model" as major activity to maximize the
sustainable resource utilisation and revenue generation.

Programme (ELP)
"Let's become job
providers rather than job
seekers"

6. Department of
Aquaculture
Integrated
Semi-intensive
Aqua Farming
Integrated fish farming is a system of producing
fishes and other livestocks in a manner that the
output (by product) from one component
becomes valuable resource for another
component, aiming to effectively utilise the
natural and man-made resources for getting
maximum output and revenue with minimum
investment.

21. Fish Farming
Component 2:
Farm to fork
Date:
March 08, 2022

22. “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man
to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.”
Integrated
Various components of farm are
interlinked to utilize the output
generated by one component as
input for another.
Semi-
Intensive
Fish reared in a system having
combination of natural food and
supplementary feed in a balanced
way with medium stocking.
ELP Poultry unit
ELP Piggery unit

utilize the resources

23. Fish farming

them and their environment to improve growth and
reproduction.

Market demand
Selected species based on :
.
We cultured wide range of species but our main focus was on Indian Major Carp by utilizing the total area of 0.50 hectare

24. Preparation Major
Activities
Netting In ponds netting is necessary before any other
operation or stocking to remove weed fishes.
Liming pH of pond is decided by the soil type. To keep the
pH slightly towards alkaline side and improve the
response to fertilization, lime is used in different
doses based on acidity of soil.
Manuring Cow dung used as organic fertilization to make
pond fertile and support plankton growth.
Precaution is better
than cure

25. Management Major
Activities
Stocking Selection and transfer of fish species to the
stocking pond based on growth factors,
survivability, consumer preference, market
demand, FCR, etc.
Fertilization Pond soil is deciding factor for fertility of pond.
Artificial (Inorganic) fertilizers are applied to supply
the required nutrients for plankton growth.
Feeding Supplementary feed is supplied two times a day
as per requirement based on plankton availability
in the pond.
Scientific management is key
to success in aquaculture

Major
Activities
Cleaning Daily two times cleaning of pig house to maintain
hygienic and healthy environment. Bathing of pigs
to protect them from pathogens.
Feeding Leftovers from both hostels are fed to them daily
twice a day. Also, formulated feed was given for
some time to see the growth rate.
Castration It is a surgical process for remove testicles aim to
divert the energy for body growth rather than
gonadal growth. Also, to improve meat quality.

64. Health Care Major
Activities
Vaccination Vaccination was done using Suvaxyn CSF Marker
lyophilisate @1 ml intramuscular injection to
protect them from Classical Swine Fever (CSF)
performed under
Weighing
and Auction
Weight is measured to calculate the net weight
gain and growth rate. Planning to sell them in
auction to get the best price.

experience
Viewpoints
Risks # 3 Prone to diseases
Biosecurity issues (Difficult to eradicate pathogen)
Can cause disease to human such as trichinosis.
(+) points # 1 Efficient in converting waste into meat
Easily adapt most environment
Feces have high nutrient contents
High meat yield percentage
Learnings # 2 Cleaning and hygienic environment is important
Feeding formulated feed is not economical
Social issues may arise
Demand is location specific
