Conclusion
The system is so designed that it creates the environment suitable for fish
breeding in the field conditions for 10-12 kg of carps in one operation. In one
run 1.0-1.2 million spawn can be produced from the system. This much
spawn in the field condition can be used as stocking material for 30 hectare
of water area for biomass (fish) production. In lean season the system can be
used for ornamental fish rearing or common carp breeding or water storing.
This hatchery can be used as a tool for fish biodiversity conservation also.
The unit can be operated by unemployed youth, Gram panchayat and
Cooperative Society on self-operational I rental basis.
