FISH FARMING - ITS INCLUDES Fish Seed Production, Criteria for selection of suitable fish species, Groups of Freshwater Species, CULTIVABLE FISH SPECIES & FISH CUM DUCK FARMING
The objective of commercial fish farming is to produce fish for sale and
earn profits. Therefore, production should be planned from the onset to
target identified markets. This means one should:
1. have the required product (size and form) available when the
market wants it,
2. be able to produce adequate volumes to sustain targeted markets,
3. produce at a competitive price and profit.
When making a production and business plan for table fish, one should
endeavor to answer the following questions beforehand.
1. Where is the market? – its location, what category of people are
likely to buy the fish I produce, etc
2. What does the market want? – type of fish, how much, what size,
how frequently, fresh or processed, etc.
3. What resources do I have? – number of pond(s), size of pond(s),
water for production (quantity, quality, flow rates), feeds, labour,
seed, etc.
4. From where and when should I source my seed and feed?
5. What is the quality of feed I intend to use? This is important
because it limits possible FCRs, water quality and carrying capacity.
6. How much feed and seed shall I require?
7. What technology do I have at my disposal and which would be the
best to adopt?
8. How frequently do I need to harvest for the market? (complete
harvest/partial harvests)
9. How do I get my fish to the market?
10. What returns can I expect from the above?

Design and construction of a fish hatchery complexMD. ZANE ALAM
A marine fish breeding centre is a complex facility. Because of its zootechnical characteristics, during the production season proper hatchery management requires uncommon skills and total dedication by well-trained personnel. Therefore, in designing a fish hatchery only those technical solutions that offer the best guarantees in terms of reliability, ease of use, production capacity, hygienic working conditions and cost effectiveness have to be used.
Gross mistakes in design and/or construction can risk a full production season even before it is started. In addition, temporary solutions always carry the risk of far from optimal rearing conditions, leading to disease outbreaks in fish larvae.
This second part of the manual deals with the principles and guidelines for the design and construction of a commercial hatchery for gilthead seabream and seabass.
This chapter describes how to calculate the size of the hatchery and how to select the appropriate site. It also deals with the design of production facilities. The function and the selection of hatchery systems and technical equipment are also described, focusing on the most widely adopted technical solutions in Mediterranean hatcheries. Special attention is given to the description of the seawater intake, and to water distribution, recirculation and treatment systems, as they are among the most sensitive components of the hatchery.
Fins are the most distinctive morphological features of fish and they plays a predominant role for locomotion of fish under the water. It is important to know how many kinds of fins are present and their precise functions.

The Kerala backwaters are a network of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India, as well as interconnected canals, rivers, and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 kilometres (560 mi) of waterways, and sometimes compared to American bayous.[3] The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both man made and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range. In the midst of this landscape, there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and endpoints of backwater cruises.

Fish farming is the principal form of aquaculture, while other methods may fall under mariculture. Fish farming involves raising fish commercially in tanks or enclosures, usually for food. A facility that releases juvenile fish into the wild for recreational fishing or to supplement a species' natural numbers is generally referred to as a fish hatchery. Worldwide, the most important fish species used in fish farming are carp, salmon, tilapia and catfish.
There is an increasing demand for fish and fish protein, which has resulted in widespread overfishing in wild fisheries. Fish farming offers fish marketers another source. However, farming carnivorous fish, such as salmon, does not always reduce pressure on wild fisheries, since carnivorous farmed fish are usually fed fishmeal and fish oil extracted from wild forage fish. The global returns for fish farming recorded by the FAO in 2008 totalled 33.8 million tonnes worth about $US 60 billion.
Specific types of fish farms[edit source | editbeta]
Within intensive and extensive aquaculture methods, there are numerous specific types of fish farms; each has benefits and applications unique to its design.
Cage system[edit source | editbeta]
Giant gourami is often raised in cages in central Thailand
Fish cages are placed in lakes, bayous, ponds, rivers or oceans to contain and protect fish until they can be harvested. The method is also called "off-shore cultivation[7] " when the cages are placed in the sea. They can be constructed of a wide variety of components. Fish are stocked in cages, artificially fed, and harvested when they reach market size. A few advantages of fish farming with cages are that many types of waters can be used (rivers, lakes, filled quarries, etc.), many types of fish can be raised, and fish farming can co-exist with sport fishing and other water uses. Cage farming of fishes in open seas is also gaining popularity. Concerns of disease, poaching, poor water quality, etc., lead some to believe that in general, pond systems are easier to manage and simpler to start. Also, past occurrences of cage-failures leading to escapes, have raised concern regarding the culture of non-native fish species in open-water cages. Even though the cage-industry has made numerous technological advances in cage construction in recent years, the concern for escapes remains valid.
Main article: Copper alloys in aquaculture
Recently, copper alloys have become important netting materials in aquaculture. Copper alloys are antimicrobial, that is, they destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi, algae, and other microbes. In the marine environment, the antimicrobial/algaecidal properties of copper alloys prevent biofouling, which can briefly be described as the undesirable accumulation, adhesion, and growth of microorganisms, plants, algae, tube worms, barnacles, mollusks, and other organisms.

Best 10 Economic Importance Of Aquaculture
Aquaculture
Fisheries and aquaculture make a big contribution to development in the areas of employment. Describing the importance of aquaculture is not an easy task. According to M. Shahbandeh, the number of people who were engaged in fishing and aquaculture amounted to around 40.34 million and 19.27 million respectively worldwide in 2016 and the number has been increasing day by day since 1995. The vast majority of them are from developing countries, working in fish production or fish raising, fish processing, harvesting, and small-scale fish business.

Aquaculture
Aquaculture is the controlled process of rearing, breeding and harvesting of aquatic species, both animals and plants, especially for human consumption, though it is controlled aquatic environments like the oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds, and streams. It’s a similar conception to agriculture, but with fish instead of plants or livestock. It also serves various functions such as food production, restoration of threatened and endangered species populations, wild stock population enhancement, the building of aquariums, and fish cultures, and habitat restoration.
History of Aquaculture
The husbandry of fish is therefore not a new phenomenon. Ancient practices based on the modifications of natural bodies of water or wetlands to entrap young fish in enclosures until harvest have just evolved into more systematic and scientific methods and techniques.
Aquaculture has a long tradition, which is about 4 000 years, and form the beginning of the time man identified the importance of aquaculture.. Probably aquaculture began in China before very long ago, due to the wants of an emperor to have an unremitting supply of fish in his land. It is supposed that the proficiencies for keeping fish in ponds originated in China with fishermen who kept their extra catch alive temporarily in baskets submerged in rivers or small bodies of water created by damming one side of a river bed.(Ling, S.W,Aquaculture in Southeast Asia: A Historical Overview,A Washington Sea Grant Publication).
Another theory is that aquaculture arose from ancient practices for pinning down fish, with the operations steadily improving from trapping-holding to trapping-holding-growing, and finally into complete agriculture or farming practices.
Methods of Aquaculture
The methods of aquaculture’s farm-to-table process can differ from species to species. Generally, there are four stages of the production chain, starting in hatcheries and ending at the seafood counter in your grocery store. Four stages are:
stages of the production chain

Each of these stages may vary concerning its effect on the environment and the quality and safety of the seafood they produce.
The first stage in the aquaculture production chain is the hatchery. This is where the breeding of fish, hatch

3. Aquaculture
Aquaculture is defined as the breeding, growing, and harvesting of fish, shellfish, algae, and other
organisms in all types of aquatic habitats, according to NOAA.i
Aquaculture is a way for producing food and other commercial items, as well as restoring habitat and
replenishing wild stocks and rebuilding threatened and endangered animal populations.
There are two forms of aquaculture: marine and freshwater.
Examples include coastal ocean waters, freshwater ponds and rivers, and even land-based tanks. Freshwater
and brackish aquaculture are both practised in India.
Aquaculture can be done both onshore (fish tanks, ponds) and inshore (fish tanks, ponds). (Species are more
diversified with natural conditions such as ocean currents, diel vertical migration, and nutrients cycles.)
Farming also implies individual or corporate ownership of the stock being cultivated. Particular kinds of
aquaculture include fish farming, shrimp farming, oyster farming, mariculture, algaculture (such as seaweed
farming), and the cultivation of ornamental fish.
Various kinds of Aquaculture
Other types of Aquacultures are: -
Inland Pond Culture: - Artificial ponds with a surface area of 20 acres and a depth of 6-
8 feet in the inland. The ponds are connected to aeration systems. It aids in the
circulation of oxygen and prevents the production of ice during the winter season.
Recirculating Systems: - It works by filtering the water in the tanks and reusing it within
the tank. It is powered by energy and uses electricity to pump water. Filtering the water
on a regular basis maintains it clean and nutritious for the fish. It regulates salinity,
temperature, oxygen, and other parameters because it operates in a closed system.
The treatment chambers are filled with water. The leftover filters are disposed of in an
environmentally friendly way.
Open- net pen and Cage Systems: - Offshore and in freshwater lakes, open-net pens
and cage systems are common. Mesh cages are constructed. The disadvantage is that
predatory creatures are attracted to it. It is grown in municipal water. Waste, chemicals,
parasites, and diseases are frequently transferred in the immediate aquatic habitats
due to the high concentration of fish in the pens.
Flow through / raceways: - A vast stretch of stocked fish can be found there. They are connected
to the feeding station. The raceway units are filled with flowing water. The garbage is eventually
collected and disposed of. Frequently used in trout farming
4. “Aquaculture is defined by the Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO) as "the
production of aquatic creatures such as fish,
mollusk’s, crabs, and aquatic plants." Farming
entails some type of intervention in the raising
process to improve output, such as regular
stocking, feeding, and predator protection,
among other things.”
Agriculture is probably the fastest growing food – producing sector which now
accounts for 50% of the worlds fish that is used for food.
Mariculture
• Cultivation of sea animals & plants in their usuaul habitat.
• Food additives, jewelry (e.g cultured pearls),
pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and cosmetics.
• It is carried out in cages,ponds,raceways which contain sea
water (section of ocean)
• Organisms bred :- prawns and other shell fishes, seaweed,
mollusks etc.
Fish Farming
• It entails the selective breeding of fish for human and
commercial consumption. The most appealing alternative
because it requires minimal maintenance and has numerous
benefits.
• It is the world's cheapest source of protein, which makes it
profitable.
• Ponds require less land to produce large amounts of fish.
Algaculture
• Algae cultivation.
• Algae are microbiological organisms that resemble both
animals and plants. They are the bedrock of aquatic life.
However, aquaculture is used to grow these in large
quantities for commercial reasons.
• It is also employed as a new source of energy and is
sculpted to fit the needs of the user.
Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture(IMTA)
• Byproducts of one aquatic species are used as feedstock
for another. Incorporation of species from multiple
trophic or nutritional levels in the same system is referred
to as multi-tropic.
• It mimics the ecological system found in the natural
environment. This approach aids in the reduction of waste
and the production of additional goods.
• It leads to ecosystem equilibrium, economic stability, and
social acceptability.

7. About the destination
Kerala is surrounded by water and is the hub for backwaters. Along with faming, aquaculture has also been
practiced in Kerala.
I have chosen the Matsyafed Foundation locations as my destination. Other than this there are several
destinations where aquaculture can be experienced. Some destinations would be Aqua Tourism in
Alappuzha, Kottayam, Kollam, Kasaragod, etc.
There are 3 major Aqua Tourism centers: - Njarakkal/ Narakkal, Palaikari/Malippuram.
Aqua Tourism in Kerala is done with the help of Matsyafed (Kerala State Co-operative federation for
fisheries development.)
Kerala is surrounded by different water. It makes it ideal for fish farming.
Major species cultivated are: -
1. Penaeus indicus
2. Penaeus monodon
3. Chanos chanos
4. Etroplus suratensis
5. Mugil Cephalus
6. Lizzo sp
Apart from this there are public aquariums as well. However, the government is focusing and
promoting the above as aquatic Tourism sites.
Activities
Matsyafed fish farms in Njarakkal, Malippuram, and Palaikkari provide environmentally friendly
aqua tourist services in the backwaters.
Boating, fishing, and rowing are all available.
SHGs maintain a canteen that serves ethnic food with fresh farm-raised fish.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take in the scenic grandeur of nature and the
peacefulness of the backwaters.
Matsyafed Narakkal Fish Farm
This brackish water fish farm is famous for its cultivation of grey mullets (Mugil Cephalus). Farm has 44 acres of
water body with 3 blocks of fish culture ponds. Pearl spots (Karimeen) are common in this farm which is declared
as the State Fish of Kerala.
Vypin Island's Narakkal Fish Farm is situated in the heart of the island. It is located on the coastline of
Arattuvazhi. It's a great place for visuals and visual stimulation.
Grey mullet culture is well-known at the Brackish Water Fish Farm. It also features three more pond
blocks. Pearl spots are a common fish that is also recognised as Kerala's state fish. Pearl spots can be
obtained through angling, which includes hooks and baits for convenience.
Sip coconut juice while relaxing in the hammocks. Relaxation cottages and benches have been
installed alongside the fish pond bunds. The tropical backwaters serve as a backdrop. The beach of
Aarattuvazhi is worth visiting.
Food, drinks, and leisure activities are all included in the farm's packages. The meal is wonderful, with
a variety of fish served with rice. Special fish meals such as karimeen pollichathu, fish molly,
crab roast, prawn masala, and others are available at a cheap price in the restaurant. The
coolest thing is that you may relax in the centre of the ponds in a floating bamboo hut.
8. Coracle rides (Kuttavanchi), rowing boats, pedal boats, water cycles, kayaking, and solar boats are
among the activities provided. Kochi is 20 kilometres from the Aqua Tourism hub (Queen of the
Arabian Sea.)
Palaikkari
Palaikari Fish Farm is situated in Chembu village, on the Vaikom-Ernakulam highway. The Matsyafed
foundation offers a one-day Bhumika and pravahini tour, a road trip, and a road and waterway
combined excursion.
Seafood delicacies will make your mouth water. Lunch is provided on a concealed island with a
treasure trove of fresh fish, prawns, clams, karimeen, and other delicacies.
The fish employees serve as guides, explaining the fish culture to you. Paddle around in a paddle boat
or a motorboat.
How did you come up with the name?
This was once a prawn farm owned by the Pala community in Kottayam. It was afterwards taken over
by the Matsyafed foundation (Njarakkal & Malippuram) and renamed Palikkari, which means "land of
the Pala people."
At Palaikari, pearl spot, milkfish, northern red snapper, bluefin, and prawns are farmed.
The Kettuvallam Museum is a houseboat museum that displays various sorts of equipment, utensils,
and household goods. It adds to the history of the place.
Tourists can feed the fish by travelling over the bridges at this cage culture facility.

The map of my Itinerary.
10. Itinerary
Aquaculture Tourism allows you to enjoy the pisciculture and
understand how the major chunk of protein is being reared and sold to
the public. It is a very unique tourism program made by the help of the
government.However I would like my tourists to enjoy the tour and
have no regrets.So my itinerary is a combination of heritage walk tour
combined with aquaculture and activities.
From the ernakulam Station. Reach your hotel .
Next day we have a boom of destinations feast
Day 1
► Mangalvanam Bird Sanctuary
► Hill Palace Museum
► Matsyafed Malippuram Aqua Tourism
► Matsyafed Narrakkal Fish Farm
► Njarackal Arattuvazhi Beach
Ernakulam
Lagoons and backwaters connect a group of islands. Heritage Walk
Tour is located on the coast of the Arabian Sea. It is known as Kerala's
business centre. Kochi, often known as the "Queen of the Arabian
Sea," is one of the world's most beautiful natural harbours.
We'll take a stroll through Kochi's historical sites. Hold on to your hat.
We'll begin in Fort Kochi, a small fishing village that was India's first
European settlement. The Portuguese, Dutch, Arabs, and eventually
the British shaped this town. The architectural vestiges of these
cultural interactions can be seen. We'll look at the famed Chinese
fishing nets that traders brought here. On the outskirts of Kochi, the
Kublai Khan acquired this. And so on…

11. India is the 2nd
largest
aquaculture economy but
the adaptation of
technology is limited and
this has resulted in lower
productivity in farmers &
wider diseases in aqua
produce – Aqua connect
12. PROS - BENEFITS
Health - Fish protein is in high demand all across the world. It contains
nutritional benefits such omega 3 fatty acids, natural oils in the diet, and
so on. This allows us to live a better lifestyle despite battling cancer,
cardiovascular disease, and other serious ailments.
Resource sustainability — Traditional fishing methods do not permit the
capture of fish in a controlled manner. As a result, there is overfishing,
and aquatic species development is severely hampered. Instead, we may
raise the same aquatic species in a controlled environment using ocean
water. Aquaculture in brackish water is being practised in Kerala.
This lessens the reliance on land. Aquaculture is responsible for 13% of
global fish production. Aquaculture is the most viable alternative and
provides the best chance for wild stock replenishment over time. As a
result, we will be able to live in a more sustainable manner.
Aquaculture supports the biodiversity of wild stock in their environments
through conservation. Regulatory fishes aid in the preservation of
aquatic ecosystem variety from overfishing.
Fish feed can be lowered by utilising modern technology. As a result, the
manufacturing process will be less expensive, resulting in low-cost food
production to meet demand.
Decreased toxicity impact - It also minimises the amount of disturbance
caused to wild animals, resulting in less human intervention. The aquatic
species cycle is in order. Adult fish are removed from the ecosystem,
causing stress.
Self-employment and job creation are both on the rise. It gives
individuals more time to engage in other economic pursuits, such as
About 2.22 lakh
fisherfolk are
dependent upon
those water
resources for
their livelihood,
out of which
90% are
smallholding
farmers. The
rough
13. calculation
would be
around 26000
farmers
involved in this
activity. The
Kerala inland
production is 2
lakh tonnes
from available
water bodies
starting their own business. This encourages entrepreneurship and
increases the number of recruiting opportunities and jobs available.
With the culture of seaweed and molluscs, it will minimise the sea food
deficiency and build a barrier against pollution. They function as sea
grass and filter feeders. Alage has developed a new source of energy. It
is possible to minimise our reliance on fossil fuels. The only thing left
over from the burning algae would be water. At the very least, it's better
than the poisonous residues.
ISSUES
It's pointless to be upset about a spilt glass of milk.
When it comes to farming, there are a few things to keep in mind. If the
precautionary requirements are not followed. Then, in comparison to
the oceans, you will cause more damage to the ecology near the land.
Waste management, immunization side effects, antibiotics, and
competition are all invasive concerns. If a resident of the area does not
use the local feed. Then odd plants that are hazardous to the fish's
health will be grown. Between 1990 and 2000, there were
advancements in procedures, seeds, and better feed.
Impacts on Wild Fish
Wild forage fish are fed to carnivorous and omnivorous fish. Omega 3 is
not found in fish. It's only after they eat microalgae that they start
producing it. For these fishes, a fish-in-fish-out proportion is required. To
create one pound of salmon, the ratio is 4:9. Despite the fact that we
know that the efficiency of production is increasing, farmed salmon
consume more wild fish than they produce as a finished product.
Animal Welfare
According to the Farm Animal Welfare Council's criteria, effective animal
welfare includes both physical fitness and a sense of well-being in the
animal's physical and mental state. The Five Freedoms can be used to
define this:
o Hunger and thirst are no longer a problem.
o Discomfort-free living
o Pain, disease, and damage are no longer a part of your life.
o The ability to express natural behaviors.
o Fear and distress are no longer present.
Common Welfare concerns
Disease and parasitism, as well as stocking densities. The fact that
diseases are frequently interconnected and influence one other at
14. different periods is a major issue. Fish become aggressive and
competitive as a result of overcrowding. Their contact poses a
danger of tissue damage owing to abrasion. Because their excrement
is hazardous to them because it contains ammonia, insufficient
water flow results in a lack of oxygen supply. Their respiration relies
on dissolved oxygen. If these decreases, stress is induced, which can
lead to asphyxiation. Hemorrhaging, gill congestion, and increased
mucus production can all be caused by parasites. Internal organs and
the neurological system are affected by some bacterial infections.
15. Improving Welfare
Aquaculture is sometimes used as part of an environmental restoration
programmed or to help endangered animals survive.
Precautions must be taken on a regular basis. Keep the nets and cages clean for
better water flow. Antibiotics, vaccinations, chemicals added to water for
rehabilitation baths, biological baths, and so on are all options. Water quality,
temperature, appropriate oxygen, and minimal waste products can all be
maintained while transporting fish. The fish are sometimes given anesthetics to
keep them calm during shipment.
Salinization/acidification of soils
Exposed aquaculture farm sediment can be hypersaline, corrosive, and degraded.
For a long time afterward, this material may be useless for aquaculture purposes.
Chemical treatments, such as adding lime, might exacerbate the situation by altering
the sediment's physicochemical qualities.
Pollution
Farming generates a lot of waste, such as fasces and leftover feed. This will result in
oxygen depletion in coastal areas as well as a net loss of marine production.
Escapes
Fish raised in captivity may have a proclivity for escaping. Millions of salmons escape
their net cages every year in salmon aquaculture.
16. SUGGESTIONS or SOLUTIONS
TO THE ABOVE PROBLEM
Environmental degradation is the greatest danger to the long-term viability of inland
fisheries. Aquatic pollution, fish habitat degradation, water abstraction, and aquatic
biodiversity consequences are all on the rise. These patterns need to be reversed. Other
key challenges in inland fishing to be addressed include:
Suggestions for resolving the problems include:
a. While preserving biodiversity, the use, promotion, and management of
upgrades, particularly in small water bodies and reservoirs;
b. The need to regulate resource access and increase community-level
management responsibility;
c. The importance of including inland fisheries in the assessment and
management of numerous water resource users;
d. Recreational fishing's expanding importance, as well as resource allocation
conflicts between food and sport; and
e. The need for international mechanisms to build coherent management and
policy frameworks for the sustainable use and conservation of aquatic
genetic resources will rise throughout time as the science of genetics and
biotechnology expands.
17. The region's aquaculture industry has a lot of room for expansion. Improvements in
technology and resource utilisation, intensification, integration of aquaculture with other
farming activities, and the development of more aquaculture areas could all contribute to
this rise. Aquaculture, on the other hand, will encounter severe hurdles, including:
1. Keeping up with rising demand for seed, feed, and fertilisers in terms of
quantity and quality
2. Improving fish health management to cut down on production losses
3. Competition with other users for resources (land, water, and feed);
deteriorating water quality due to aquatic pollution
4. Successful aquaculture integration with other farming activities, as well as
the promotion of small-scale, low-cost aquaculture to aid rural development
