*Figures for 2009-10 & 2010-11 refer to’ seed stocking’ as against ‘seed production’which may not necessarily be same.^<strong>Report</strong> presented by Director, Fisheries, Haryana in Hisar stakeholder Workshop(30/7/2011)It is not clearly evident as to what proportion of the 450 million fry was actuallyproduced from within Haryana by private and public hatcheries in order tounderstand the performance of existing seed production infrastructure in Haryana.In 2007-08, there were 15 functional hatcheries / fish seed farms underDoF, 16 fish seed hatcheries & 45 rearing units in private sector, (thoughtheir respective production details are not available except for two years,) besidesone Ornamental fish hatchery at Saidpura, Karnal and desi Magur fish hatchery atBadkhal, Faridabad.The Table 2.8 above shows that Haryana produces roughly 1% of fish seed thoughit’s share in table fish production is about 2%. The seed production doubledbetween 1997-98 and 2008-09 mirroring the all India trend. Importantly, 15public seed farms under DoF produced only 20% of State’s seed while80% came from 16 private sector farms during 2002-03 & 2004-05indicating abysmal performance of public sector seed farms. Scenariodid not change in 2010-11 as public sector contribution remained almostsame at 22%. Field visits and interaction with DoF staff and private hatcheryoperators further confirmed almost defunct nature of all but one public sectorhatchery in Kurukshetra. Most of the DoF seed farms / hatcheries primarily buyspawn from either nearby private hatcheries or from other States, rear them innurseries to fry stage for 2-3 weeks and distribute them to beneficiary farmers atsubsidized rates under FFDA and other programs. Contrary to what has beenreported, at least one third of State’s seed requirement is being met by seed supplyfrom Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. It may be noted that the four States of WestBengal (42%), Andhra Pradesh (31%), Assam (6.5%) and Uttar Pradesh (3.5%)together produce 83% of total carp seed requirement in the country and the surplusseed from West Bengal meets nearly 25% of India’s total seed requirement.( 16 )
Though the structural constraints like water scarcity, seepage and faulty layout /designs did play havoc in (non)performance of many DOF hatcheries,management problems like lack of adequate brooder fish, lack of adequatetechnical staff, in appropriate working time, procedural bottlenecks in meting outcontingent but petty day to day expenditure, lack of interest among staff are themain culprits for malfunctioning of most of the public sector hatcheries and seedfarms. The story is similar in various other States like Rajasthan, Bihar, Maharashrtaand even Andhra Pradesh.In short, commercial activities like carp seed production for whichtechnology has been perfected and available freely for long should not bein the domain of public sector DoF as the private sector has been doing itmore efficiently not only in Haryana but also in most of the States.2.2. Fish Markets and ConsumptionFish markets and marketingOf the total fish production of about one lakh tonnes, approximately 20-25% isbeing consumed in the State while the rest is marketed outside the State mainly inDelhi markets (60-65%) and Punjab (15-20%). In order to provide marketingsupport to fish producers, DOF has established modern fish markets at three placesin Faridabad, Yamuna Nagar and Panipat while two more markets are establishedwith a total cost of 84 lakhs in Gurgaon and Bahadurgarh in order to strengthen thepost-harvest infrastructure in the State. The superintending and supervision work ofthese 3 fish markets has been given to the Haryana State Agriculture MarketingBoard. There is a provision of vehicles in these markets which are provided to fishfarmers for transportation of their produce from pond site to the markets at theconcessional rates.Under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Strengthening of Post-HarvestInfrastructure, GoI provides assistance to Govt. undertakings,NGO's/Cooperatives/Joint Sector/Assisted Sector/Private Sector for establishingmarketing infrastructure in the State. So far it is not evident that anyone hasbenefitted from the scheme. However, a processing plant has come up near( 17 )
