Survey on prevalence of important fish diseases and development of best management practices (BMPS) for their control and prevention

Ř               To survey the important fish culture areas of the state, for recording the prevalence of the diseases associated economical losses.

Ř               To identify the major management practices that are contributing for disease occurrence.

Ř               To identify diseases area wise, season wise, species wise and size wise.

Ř               To evaluate economic impact particular disease and find the etiological agent. 

Ř               To evolve a package of best management practices to prevent or control the disease.

C.V.Sc, Tirupati

LRS, Palamaner

n  To establish the bull mother farm of proven germ psalm of Jersey x Sahiwal crossbred animals.

n   To test the adoptability and productive performance and to supply the proven germ psalm through distribution of young breeding bulls and semen.

n  Distribution of excess female stock to the needy people through government agencies

·                   Procured 43 pigs (38 females and 5 males)

·                   Bred 6 sows  and inducted 129 pigs of AICRP in to RKVY

·                   So far about 270 quality piglets were supplied to the farmers

·                   This year piglets shall be supplied to farmers soon after furrowing and weaning of the piglets born.

·                  Piglets are having an average litter size of 7.3 with an average birth weight of 1.6kg

Inland aquaculture sustainability - profitability for socioeconomic growth with appropriate location specific alternate native fish species to Indian major carps.

Fisheries Research Station, Palair,Kakinada, Undi
