Fish Seed Centers

   Back
Maharashtra State is endowed with 3,77,905 ha. water spread area under 192 large & medium projects, 2065 minor irrigation projects and 31,415 zilla parishad tanks. Excluding protected water bodies 3,18,548 ha. water spread area has been brought under fish culture.
To avail the quality fish seed of Indian Major Carps (IMC) and exotic carps State Govt. has established centers, out of which 28 centers have circular hatchery setup. Fresh Water Fishery in Maharashtra State more or less 6 varieties of fishes like Indian Major Carps - Catla, Rohu, Mrugal, Exotic carps- Silver carp, Grass carp, common carp-Cyprinus.
The quality seed of catla,,Rohu, Mrigal, silver carp, Grass carp ,common carp i.e Cyprinus is made available at respective fish seed farms/hatcheries. In all over the State above all varieties are cultivated.
While Selecting Fish Species Following Criteria Are Considered For Economical Fish Farming.
Fish species should be fast growing.
Seed should be easily available in sufficient quantity.
Species should survive and grow in the Indian climate and ecosystem.
Species should be not compete with each other and should sustain each other.
Species should grow on supplementary feed.
Sufficient quantity of fish seed of cultivable species is required for stocking in available water bodies. First fish seed centre was established in 1955 at Khopoli Dist.Raigad. Induced breeding experiments were successful in the year 1957-58 and since then state have made remarkable progress in fish seed production.
Previously Indian Major Carps were induced for breeding by injecting Pitutary gland extract. There were many problems in procuring Pitutary glands and in injecting extract in spite of which success in breeding was limited. Since 1992-93 Ovaprim (Synthetic Gonadotrophin Releasing Hormone Analogue) has been made available, then induced breeding has become easy procedure.
At the same time recent technique of Major Carp fish breeding was developed by construction of Chinese circular hatchery units at fish seed production centers. Up till now 28 circular hatcheries have been constructed and fish seed requirement is depended on these centers.
Previously fish seed requirement had been curtailed by importing fish seed from West Bengal . From year 1990-91 import of fish seed from Calcutta was completely stopped by Government as one of the preventive major against Ulcerative Syndrome so it was necessary to cultivate the required fish seed by producing it on large scale in the fish seed production centers.
