Commercial Fish Production: Model Project Report For
Fish is one of the favorite item in the food menu of almost 60% of Indians. So market
demand is always high for fish items. If we consider the global demand also, the total
requirement becomes very high. The main source of fish is from the sea. But the global fish
harvest from the sea is decreasing rapidly. The only way we can ensure availability of fish
to meet increasing demand is through fish farming. Inland freshwater fish farming plays
major role here.We have large number of natural ponds herewith a good business plan
and decision, we can convert this opportunity to a successful small scale farm.
Selection of Fish breeds plays major role in the sustainability of our business. The
decision should be based on market demand, maintenance point of view, availability of
resource, effective utilization of resources
etc. Carp items such as catla, Rohu, Grass
carp, common carp etc. are suitable
for Indian ponds .Other breeds such as
Tilapia, cat fish etc. also cultivated in
Indian Ponds. Polyculture (growing two or
more fish breeds in same pond) is the
suitable strategy for
optimum utilization of resources. You can
get quality fish seeds from nearest fish hatcheries or from fisheries department.
