DIRECTOR'S DESK
It is well accepted that species
diversification is one of the important
vertical expansion strategies for enhancing
fish production through aquaculture. This
Institute has always been in the sustained
pursuit to add more species to its kitty by
developing and standardizing their
breeding and culture techniques. During
the reporting quarter we have introduced
an indigenous catfish from Mahanadi river,
Rita chrysea, and straight away got its successful captive
breeding. The Institute is also continually trying to
develop farm made feeds with suitable cheap plant
ingredients which are locally available. Climbing perch
(Anabas testudineus) has known medicinal properties
in addition to being an excellent food item. The Institute
could instill confidence through skill development in a
Mechanical Engineering diploma holder, Shri Kiran
Kumar to successfully take up breeding of this species;
he is fully geared to supply 5 lakh seeds to farmers from
Odisha, and also has plans to culture the species in
about 4 acres of water area. One progressive farmer,
Shri Md. Amir Ali owner of Raja Hatchery,
Murshidabad District, West Bengal is a happy man – he
fed catla, rohu and mrigal broodstock with
TM
CIFABROOD in the last week of January, and
achieved early maturation and breeding in March,
which means he can have the fingerlings by June! A long
felt need to have a state level interaction of all matters in
aquaculture research and development materialized

when the Institute organized Odisha State level
collaborative Research Industry Farmer Extension
interaction workshop during the last week of this
quarter at Kausalyaganga. All top brass of state including
Minister for Agriculture and ARD, Secretary-cum-
commissioner, Director of Fisheries, in addition to
Deputy Directors of different Zones, District Fishery
Officers, representatives of farmers, banks, feed
industry, state fishery departments from Jharkhand,
Assam, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh numbering to
a total of around 180 delegates participated in the
workshop. We are looking forward to assess and
document the research and development needs of 10
agro-climatic zones of Odisha in order to develop a
strategy for strengthening Research-Industry-Farmer-
Extension linkage for aquaculture development. A total
of 7 training/skill development programmes in
aquaculture & farming systems, genetics and
biotechnology, fish breeding, etc. including one for
Nigerians, were conducted for around 120
beneficiaries by the Institute during the reporting
quarter. Hundreds of farmers were benefited through
exposure visits and short training programmes. The
farmers at Nalbari, Assam, where ICAR-CIFA has
provided the technology and other inputs for magur
breeding and farming, have responded enthusiastically
and good production of magur seeds has been witnessed;
this district could develop as magur seed hub in the
north east region. Let us welcome 6 scientists and one
assistant to the parivar, who have joined during the
reporting quarter. We have successfully conducted
our RAC and annual IRC meetings.

eggs were of 1.1 – 1.3 mm in diameter and 1.2- 1.4 mg
in weight. The fecundity was about 9,000-12,000 eggs
per 100 g body weight. The larvae hatched out in 24-
26 h of incubation at 26-28°C. The hatchlings were
about 3.5 – 4.5 mm in total length and 0.8 to 1.2 mg in
wet weight. Fertilization and hatching rates ranged
between 70-80% and 60-70% respectively.
Successful induced breeding would lead to
development protocols for hatchery seed production
and grow out culture of this species. In order to further
increase the size of the captive population, further
collections of the species were carried from the
Mahanadi River, Jagatsinghpur. The wild caught R.
chrysea fishes were sampled monthly to study the
gonad maturity stages, gonadostomatic index, gut
content analysis. It was found that GSI and GaSI % of
male and female is about 0.42& 0.65% and 6.8 & 6.1%,
respectively. Broodstock diet of R. chrysea was
formulated and evaluation study in progress.
Carbon Sequestration Studies
For carbon sequestration studies, soil samples were
collected and analysed from fish ponds and from the
nearby agricultural land in Rayagada, Odisha. The
organic carbon content of the pond soils was 0.52 %
while the same was 1.29 % in the crop soil. The dry
bulk density was 0.68 and 0.87 mg/m3, in the pond
and crop soil respectively. The carbon sequestration
was 2.70 and 11.21 Mg C/ha (Mega gram carbon per
hectare) in the pond and crop soil, respectively.
Considering 1.0 cm depth, the carbon sequestration
was 0.36 and 1.12 Mg C/ha in the pond and crop soil,
respectively.

cake was found superior to feed with only soybean
meal. A til oil cake based fish feed for Indian major
carps was produced in extruder at four different
temperatures i.e., 110, 130, 150 and 1700C. The
floating percentage of feed was 100 with extrusion
0
temperature range of 130-150 C. The chemical
analysis showed that, the nutrients like dry matter,
crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, nitrogen free
extract and total ash were not affected up to the
0
temperature of 170 C except the Crude Protein (CP)
which was reduced when temperature is maintained
above 1500C. It is inferred that, cost effective floating
feed could be prepared by inclusion of til oil cake
along with other ingredients, maintaining the
extrusion temperature at 130 or 150 C.

Demonstration of Climbing perch breeding and
seed production technologies at Mangalajodi,
Khordha, Odisha
Climbing perch, Anabas testudineus is an indigenous
fish having high consumer preference and fetches a
good market price (Rs 350-500/kg) in many states of
India. This fish is also known for its medicinal value as
it is rich in minerals (iron and copper), unsaturated
fatty acids and essential amino acids. Due to depleting
stock in the wild ,it is rarely found in the market. This
Institute took the initiative to train and impart skills to
the different stakeholders for taking up its breeding,
seed production and farming. A training programme
was conducted on “Induced breeding and seed
production of Murrel and Anabas in hatchery
condition” during 1-6, June 2015 at this Institute.
Mr. Kiran Kumar, a participant, who is a diploma in
Mechanical Engineering has taken 11 ponds (18 acres)
on lease at Mangalajodi, District Khordha, Odisha. In
addition to his formal training, he visited this Institute
many times to get sufficient knowledge about the
practical aspects of seed production and rearing. He
started collection of Anabas brooders from his old
ponds as well as from the market and kept in concrete
tank. After getting training, Mr. Kumar was confident
and bred Anabas successfully on 15 June,2015 in
plastic container. The initial success boosted his
confidence further and he took a number of breeding
trials during June 2015. Mr. Kumar has already
produced about 5 lakhs spawn by the end of June 2015.
He has received more than 5 lakh Anabas seed demand

from fish farmers of Odisha. In addition to Anabas seed
sale, he will be going for grow-out culture of the species
in water area of 4 acres. Mr. Kumar feels that success in
induced breeding and seed production of Anabas will
lead to a surge in its grow-out farming in coming years.
Anabas spawn
Early maturity of Indian Major Carps in farmer's
TM
field by using CIFABROOD
A progressive farmer, Md. Amir Ali owner of Raja
Hatchery, Murshidabad District, West Bengal started
fish seed production in1972 for Indian and Chinese
carps, common carp, bata, punti, pangas and other
fishes. Fish breeding has become a family profession
through generations. Mr. Ali uses about 30 acres of
land area with different pond sizes for rearing of brood
stock throughout the year. Presently he produces 6
million spawn per day during breeding season (15
April to 15 August). Early breeding, particularly in
March-April is highly preferred as spawn is sold for
almost triple the price than in the breeding season
(June-August) as there is a very high customer demand.
While visiting ICAR-CIFA on an occasion, his son
Rittwik Amir heard about the brood stock diet
CIFABROODTM. In 2014, they decided to use
TM
CIFABROOD in one pond on experimental basis
particularly to reduce the brood fish management time
by early maturity and to see the quality of spawn. The
feeding trial in a four acres pond could not lead to a
good experience in the 1st year. There was initial
development of the females, but later failed to
achieve the target due to severe ammonia gas
formation in the pond and several brood fishes died
due to unhygienic condition.
However, in the next trial during 2015, they
TM
received 200 kg of CIFABROOD feed under RKVY

scheme along with guidelines to be followed. They
started feeding from 30 Jan 2015 in one acre pond at
the rate of 3% of body weight. The pond was a new
one prepared with mohua oil cake treatment before
stocking of brood fish and stocked with about 60 kg
catla, 60 kg rohu and 80 kg mrigal. The feed was
provided by perforated poly bag in three different
areas of the pond. Within 38 days the first batch of
female fishes showed early maturity and were ready
for breeding, but males were not oozing. Hence,
they could not start breeding with the first female
batch, but in the next batch after 48 days, both the
males and females were ready for breeding and
started breeding on 18 March 2015. The major
difference they observed in catla and mrigal was that
the quantity of eggs is significantly more than earlier
and the quality of spawn was also very good in terms
of survival. He was very happy and satisfied about
TM
the performance of CIFABROOD . He has thanked
Department of Fisheries, Govt. of West Bengal for
providing the feed under RKVY scheme along with
the critical guidelines. The farmer is considering
applying the feed in the next year also, but feels the
price should decrease to some extent.

Fish Health Camp and Farmers' Meet
A “Fish Health Camp and Farmers' Meet” was organized
by Fish Health Management Division at Tangi Block
Office, Khordha District of Odisha on 10 June 2015, in
which around 60 fish farmers participated. The aim of
the programme was to sensitize the farmers about the
different diseases that are occurring in the fish culture
practices and their preventive and remedial measures,
to have sustainable production. Pond water and fish
samples brought by farmers were analyzed at the spot
and necessary recommendations were given for
rectifying the pond water quality and maintaining health
status of fish in culture conditions. The scientists briefed
the fish farmers about how they would be benefitted
from the ICAR-CIFA from various technological inputs
in scientific fish culture. It was learnt from the farmers
that each farmer in that area was having a land holding
ranging from 1 ha to 5 ha with assorted pond sizes. The
participants included Mr. Rashmi Ranjan Sahoo, BDO,
Tangi Block; Shri Amiya Ranjan Sahoo, AFO, Tangi
Block who co-ordinated the entire programme from
state government side.

Farmer-scientist interaction meet
ICAR-CIFA and Assistant Director of Fisheries,
Mursidabad, Department of Fisheries, Govt. of West
Bengal organized a Farmer-scientist interaction meet on
“Quality seed and feed for aquaculture development at
Berhampore, Mursidabad. West Bengal on 7 May 2015
to sensitize the hatchery owners, farmers, planners and
other stake holders on the importance of quality seed
and feed to increase the production with particular
reference to Mursidabad. The Institute, in collaboration
with other stake holders is working towards stock
improvement and quality seed production across the
country. In this effort state of West Bengal holds the
prime position for being the largest supplier of fish seed
in the country and Mursidabad district holds the promise
to develop more aquaculture for area availability.
The workshop was organized at Meen Bhavan,
Berhampore, Musridabad and more than 105
participants which included hatchery owners, seed
growers, seed traders from Nadia, Birbhum and
Mursidabad Districts attended. Mr. Jayanta Kumar
Pradhan, Assistant Director Fisheries, Mursidabad
welcomed the participants.The scientists from ICAR-
CIFA interacted with the partricipants. Dr Anindya
Ghosh, Deputy Director, Govt. of West Bengal and
Mr. Y Ratnakar Rao, IAS, District Magistrate and
Collector, Mursidabad spoke on the occasion.
The farmers and other stakeholders raised many
questions on ensuring quality seed production, which
were answered by the experts from ICAR-CIFA and
Department of Fisheries, Govt. of West Bengal. It was
felt that the farming communities still lacks knowledge
on BMP in seed production and brood management.
There is an urgent need for development of more
awareness on importance of quality seed production
and its impact on aquaculture productivity.
The following major recommendations were drawn
by all stakeholders:
Ÿ Avoiding mix spawning in same breeding pool and
reduction of inbreeding depression of hatchery stocks.
Ÿ Regulation on indiscriminate use of antibiotics and
some banned chemicals during fish breeding
hatchery operation.
Ÿ Hatchery network in the district level to develop
more awareness on avoiding inbreeding and also for
uniform pricing of fish seed during breeding season.
Ÿ Government support for developing brood stock
facilities at farm level on scientific lines

Nalbari. Prior to the field visit, the team had a meeting
with Dr. Deka and Mr. Bhuyan to have an idea about the
requirement of carps and C. batrachus seed in the
Nalbari District. Initially, the team visited some sites as
proposed by the KVK Nalbari for the supply of FRP
hatcheries. Later the team also visited some FRP magur
hatcheries supplied by ICAR-CIFA few years back to know

local farmers in magur seed production. Some farmers are
using these low cost indigenous hatcheries for the
production of magur seed. Due to the high demand for
magur (Rs.600-1000/kg) and magur seed (Rs.8-10/piece),
the area can be considered as suitable for development as
a magur seed hub through technological intervention.
