CHAPTER 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 Aquaculture also known as aqua farming, is the controlled cultivation of
aquatic organisms such as fish, Prawns, and other organisms of value such as
aquatic plants. Aquaculture, brackish water and saltwater populations under
controlled or semi-natural conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial
fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish.
The increase in aquaculture production meets a growing demand for fish, but
also corresponds to a reduction in catches by industrial and small-scale
fishing. For ACP Group States, important progress has been done to promote
aquaculture however with differing stages of development depending of the
investments and capacities of each county and region stretching from
commercial phase of development to the initial stage of growth. For these
countries, aquaculture sector often encounters problems, among which are
institutional constraints, poor management practices and environmental risks
such as water pollution, propagation of diseases to fish-farm populations,
excessive use of antibiotics and harmful effects on biodiversity.

 WEEKLY REPORT
WEEK – 1 (From Dt…………………. to Dt ..……………….)

Objective of the Activity Done: Gathering Village Information and Survey about
Fish Farming
Detailed Report :We have selected the topic AQUA-CULTURE.
We made our community service project in Modivillage
which is under Bantumilli Mandal, Krishna Dist., Andhra Pradesh
On the FIRST DAY (………………), we went to Grama
sachivalayam
for gathering the village information.
The information gathered during our survey regarding the village is as follows:
BANTUMALI:The total area of in over area is 466 hectares (4.66sq.km).The
living area in this locality is 127.85 hectares,the area used in tree's and other
miscellaneous plants is 24.28 hectares.The waste land in this locality is 24.08
hectares.The unirrigated land is 2.93 hectares.the canals are covered with 2.93
hectares, non agriculture land is 45.06 hectares and agriculture land is 101.86
remaining land is Aquaculture forming area 137.01 hectares.
On the SECOND DAY (……………….) of the first week, we went
to
Mee Seva Center for Acquiring the knowledge regarding the registration
requirements for Constructing of a pond for aqua farming.
From which we have gained the information which has been described below:
- First the farmer should obtain the registration for coastal Aqua culture
- The application should be submitted in Form-1 which will be available
at mee seva center and shall be submitted to the Ministry of Fisheries.
On the THIRD DAY (………………….) of the first week, we
have
made research about the water quality test which is a paramount parameter for a
good Aqua culture.
Here are some of the most important chemical and physical things that farmers
should pay attention to in their ponds' water
Temperature:
● Average temperature ranges for the optimal growth of fish vary depending
on whether the fish is coldwater, cool water or warm water and the fish you
pick for your pond should depend on the temperature of the water you have
available.
● For coldwater fish, such as salmon and trout, the optimal temperature range
for growth is between 48-65ºF.
● Cool water species, like yellow perch, prefer water between 60º and
 85ºF and warm water fish like catfish and tilapia prefer between 75-90ºF.

-pH :
● The quantity of hydrogen ions (H+) in water will determine if it is acidic or
basic. The scale for measuring the degree of acidity is called the pH scale,
which ranges from 1 to 14.
● A value of 7 is considered neutral, neither acidic nor basic; values below 7
are considered acidic; above 7, basic. The acceptable range for fish culture
is normally between pH 6.5-9.0.

On the FOURTH DAY (………………….)of the first week, we

have
made research about the soil which is also another important factor for
constructing a good aqua culture system.
We have observed that Soil pH for aquaculture ponds should be measured using
distilled water and pulverized soil with a pH meter and glass electrode. Soil pH
testers provide less accuracy. Aqua culturists sometimes send samples of pond
bottom soil to laboratories for physical and chemical analyses.
On the FIFTH DAY (………………..) of the first week, We made
a survey about the fish farming at Puppala Satyanarayana's pond. Up on the
survey, we have acquired the following base information:
1. Name: P.Satyanarayana
2. Type of Farming : Fish Farming
3. Type of Fish: Pandugoppa, Jella and Korameenu.
4. Owned or Leased : Owned
5. How much Hectares : 2.52 Hectares
6. Years of Experience : 8 years
On the SIXTH DAY (…………….) of the first week, , We made
a survey about the fish farming at P.Rambabu's pond. Up on the survey, we have
acquired the following base information:
1. Name: P.Rambabu
2. Type of Farming : Fish Farming
3. Type of Fish: Korameenu.
4. Owned or Leased : Owned
5. How much Hectares : 5.28 Hectares

pond is at other village.
Up on the survey, we have acquired the following base information:
1. Name: D. Nagulu
2. Type of Farming : Fish Farming
3. Type of Fish: Korameenu, Jella and Bocha
4. Owned or Leased : Owned
5. How much Hectares : 8 hectares

1. Name: Anaka Prasad

 2. Type of Farming : Fish Farming
3. Type of Fish: Bocha
4. Owned or Leased : Leased
5. How much Hectares : 3.5 Hectares
6. Years of Experience : 3 years
On the FIFTH DAY (……………………….) of the second
week
We have analyzed the water management of the pond at on-site of y.srinivasarao's
pond .
From the analyzes we have made the following observation:
● Farmers should ensure that only treated water be used in the culture ponds
for compensating the evaporation losses. Regular water exchange is not
advised to avoid cross contamination pathogens from the source water.
● White spot virus has been reported to survive as a free living form in water
up to seven days, Direct use of creek or sea water carriers the risk of
introducing the virus into the system.
On the SIXTH DAY (………………………) of the second
week,
We have analyzed the methods used for fish farming.
The following are the commonly used methods for fish farming:
● The 1st method is the "Cage System which uses cages that are placed in
lakes, ponds and oceans that contain fish. This method is also extensively
referred to as offshore cultivation.
● The 2nd method is the "Irrigation Ditch" for raising fish. This basic
condition for this method is to have a ditch or a pond that holds water,
● The 3rd method of fish farming is called "Composite Fish Culture which is
a type of fish farming that allows both local fish species and imported fish
species to coexist in the same pond.
● The 4th method of fish farming is called "Integrated Recycling Systems"
which is considered the largest scale method of "pure" fish farming. This
approach uses large plastic tanks that are placed within a greenhouse.
● The 5th method of fish farming method is known as classic fry farming this
method is also known as the "flow-through system. This is when sport fish
species are raised from eggs and are set in streams and released.

 WEEKLY REPORT
WEEK – 3 (From Dt ……………………. to Dt……………………)

Objective of the Activity Done: Surveying about prawns

Detailed Report:
On the FIRST DAY (………………………)of the third week,
We
have attended at the Nagaraju’s fish harvesting process.
From which we have observed the following things while preparing for the
harvest:
● Make marketing arrangements well in advance of the harvest date.
● Plan to harvest your fish early in the morning or early in the evening.
● Stop applying fertilizers one to two weeks prior to harvesting.
● Stop feeding the fish two days before harvesting.
● Prepare the manpower.
● Partially drain the pond very early in the morning on the day of harvest.
● Work carefully, disturbing the pond bottom as little as possible.
● If possible, finish the seine haul near a water source in the deep end.
● If possible, spray a stream of fresh water over the fish.
● Use a dip net to move fish from the seine to buckets on the pond bank.
On the SECOND DAY (……………………) of the third week,
We made a survey about the fish farming at P. Nagaraju’s pond.
1. Name: P. Nagaraju
2. Type of Farming : Prawn Farming
3. Type of Fish: vannamei
4. Owned or Leased : owned
5. How much Hectares : 3.5 Hectares
On the THIRD DAY (……………………) of the third week, We
made a survey about the fish farming at Sanaka Venkata Ratnam’s pond.

3. Type of Fish: vannamei
 4. Owned or Leased : owned
5. How much Hectares : 7 Hectares
On the FOURTH DAY (……………………….) of the third
week, We made a survey about the fish farming at P.Saibabu’s pond.
1. Name: P.Saibabu
2. Type of Farming : Prawn Farming
3. Type of Fish: vannamei
4. Owned or Leased : owned
5. How much Hectares : 2 Hectares
On the FIFTH DAY (…………………………) of the second week,
we have interacted with the farmers whose pond is at other village.

2. Type of Farming : Prawn Farming
3. Type of Fish: vannamei
4. Owned or Leased : owned
5. How much Hectares : 8.5 Hectares
On the SIXTH DAY (………………………) of the third week,
We have interacted with Mr. Chinaboyina Raju for gaining an
Understanding regarding the seasons for cultivating the prawns.
We have discussed below the seasons for cultivating the prawns:
● A Kg of shrimps takes nearly 250 rupees as an investment. The price for a
kilogram of 40 counts is rupees 370 to 400 in the market. That means for a
kg. You can get a profit of a minimum of 120-150 rupees.
● On average, a prawn takes four to six month to grow to a harvestable size;
they are harvested by draining the pond or in traps.
● The fishery has two fishing seasons – the banana prawn season which
runs from late March to mid June and the tiger prawn season which is
in place from August to the end of November.
● Water Requirements: Maximum growth rates occur in 15-20 parts per
thousand (ppt) salinity - seawater is normally 35ppt. Prawns can survive in
zero salinity (freshwater) for short periods.

WEEK – 4 (From Dt …………………… to Dt …………………….)

Objective of the Activity Done: Ice Making Plant and Hatchery

Detailed Report:
On the FIRST DAY (………………….) of the fourth week,
we
went for collection of data regarding the construction/digging of a pond.
● Arrange the site
● Construct a clay core (in the case of contour ponds)
● Dig the pond and make the dikes
● Construct the inlet and outlet
● Care for the pond dikes Fertilize the available pond
● Barrier the pond
● Fill up the pond with water
● Store the fish
The average pond supported 320 pounds of fish per one acre. This "standing
crop" consisted of 224 pounds of bluegill, 36 pounds of largemouth bass, and
60 pounds of miscellaneous fish per one acre. Once you have a pond, it is
important to know the correct acreage, maximum depth, average depth, and
water volume.
On the SECOND DAY(…………………….) of the fourth
Week,
We have visited Ice Making Plant for getting a clear understanding about the
ice making process.
The term ice plant means a complete installation for the
production and storage of ice, including the icemaker itself that is the unit that
converts water into ice together with the associated refrigeration machinery,
harvesting and storage equipment, and the building.
On the THIRD DAY (………………………..) of the fourth
week,
We have research about the types of diseases from which the fishes are
suffering.
Fish can suffer from various types of protozoan, fungal, bacterial, viral,
crustacean and helminth diseases, etc.
Some of these diseases have been discussed here.
1. Ichthyophthiriasis (ICH)- Symptoms of this disease are whitish
cysts on the skin, gill and fins6. Ichthyophthiriasis has been
experimentally produced in the fingerlings of Labeo bata and Cirrhinus
mrigala.
2. Costiasis- ndications of costiasis are the presence of a bluish
coating on skin of the fish and presence of large amount of mucus.
The parasite causes irritation and disturbs respiration.
3. Epistylis (Red sore disease)- t is found primarily in wild populations
of scaled fish. Clinically, one observes ulcers or cotton-like growth on
the skin, scales and spine resulting in a red coloured lesion. In
catfish, the lesion involves the spines and bones that underlie the skin
of the head and pectoral girdles..
TREATMENT AND CONTROL OF FISH DISEASES
1. For ICH disease, dip for hourly duration, in 1:5,000 formalin solution for 7
to 10 days, or in 2% common salt solution for more than 7 days, or in
1:50,000 quinine solution for 3 to 10 days should be used23,25. The
control measure for costiasis disease is the bath of 10 minutes in 3%
common salt solution25.
On the FOURTH DAY (…………………….) of the fourth
week,
We have visited shrimp feed store, from which we have observed
the following:
● Shrimp feeds are generally supplemented with a vitamin premix in a
sufficient quantity to exceed the estimated vitamin requirements,
including losses due to feed processing.
● Adult shrimps are scavengers. They feed on dead crabs, clams, snails
and fish, and worms. In this role, they help rid the ecosystem of dead
decaying matter. Shrimps have been observed to eat live worms or
cannibalize other shrimps
On FIFTH AND SIXTH DAYS (………………… and
………………)
of the fourth week, we have visited hatcheries for gaining an
understanding about the hatcheries.
● A shrimp hatchery is one of the locations where shrimp are kept during
their lifecycle development on the way to becoming fully-formed
shrimp for commercial sale.
● There are a number of different sizes and approaches a shrimp hatchery
can take towards growing shrimp. At the commercial level, one finds
hatcheries at the small, medium, and large levels. Small hatcheries can
be found throughout the world, but are especially prevalent in more
agrarian societies, which have less of a stress on large-scale
industrialization.
● A mid-sized shrimp hatchery is usually known as a greenwater hatchery,
and although they use fairly large tanks to grow shrimp in, the density of
those shrimp populations is still kept fairly low.
● Shrimp nauplii eventually turn into a second larval stage, and eventually
into the third larval stage of myses. The myses look like very small
shrimp, and they quickly turn into a post-larval shrimp, which is
essentially just a baby shrimp.

WEEK – 5 (From Dt 12/08/2022 to Dt 20/08/2022)

Objective of the Activity Done: Awareness Campaigns

Detailed Report:
On the FIRST DAY (………………..) of the fifth week,
we
have identified the Common diseases from which the prawns
We have presented below the types of diseases and its treatment:
INFECTIOUS DISEASES:
Symptoms: The major symptoms are Lethargy, anorexia, loss of appetite, dark
coloration and low growth rate. Infected prawns may suffer with fouling of the
gills and appendages by ciliates such as Zoothamnium spp. and Vorticella spp.
Severe infection leads to loss of epithelial cells of hepatopancreas.
Treatment: There is no particular treatment of this viral infection.
Prevention and Control: the best prevention measure is the screening the PL's
before stocking prawns in the pond.
✔ HEPATOPANCREATIC PARVO VIRUS:
Symptoms: The major symptoms are Loss of appetite, low growth rate,
discolored body surface and gill fouling with ciliates and opacity of abdominal
muscles, Severe infections show whitish and atrophied hepatopancrease,
anorexia and reduced preening activity.
Treatment: There is no treatment for HPV infection.
✔ Prevention and Control: There are prevention methods for this disease,
but the screening the PL's before stocking prawns in the pond is
recommended
✔ YELLOW HEAD DISEASE:
Symptoms: The infected prawn shows loss of appetite, slow swimming, pale
bodies, swollen cephalothorax with a light yellow to yellowish hepatopancreas
and gills.
Treatment: There is no treatment for YHV infection.
Prevention and Control: The best method to prevent this disease by, disinfect
the contaminated ponds and equipment's with 30ppm and maintain proper
water quality and nutrition level.
On the SECOND and THIRD DAYS (……………………..
and
……………………) of the fifth week, We went to the XXXXXX for the official
Signature of the Authority to obtain certificate for the overall
performance of us during the period under survey.
 On the FOURTH DAY (18/08/2022) of the fifth week, we
Have conducted an awareness campaign about the use of advanced Technology
in aqua culture.
The following are the advanced technologies which can be used in the Aqua
Culture.
Robotic cages for fish farming:
The most common concerns for fish farmers are parasites and diseases. Both of
these problems occur due to the cramped condition of fish farms. This leads to
lower yields and high maintenance and production costs. On the other hand,
fish farming in autonomous roaming robotic cages — aquapods — could be the
next big thing in aquaculture.
Drones to take a dive:
Similar to robots, drones can be used to do human jobs. Monitoring offshore
fish farms demands skilled labor and comes with certain risks for people.
However, drones can replace expensive human intervention and can dive
underwater multiple times for net inspection and monitoring the health of fish
farms.
On the FIFTH DAY (…………………….) of the fifth week,
We
made an awareness campaign in relation to the Government schemes in the
aqua sector.
Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana
✔ The Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) was launched
in September 2020 with an aim to double the income of fish farmers and
fishers in the country. It focuses on sustainable development of India’s
fisheries sector and is a part of the Atmanirbhar Bharat scheme
KEY TARGETS OF THE SCHEME
Key targets of the Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana are as follows:
1. Increasing fish production from 13.75 million metric tons in 2018-19 to
22 million metric tons by 2024-25.
2. Improving aquaculture productivity from 3 tons per hectare to 5 tons per
hectare.
3. Enhancing domestic fish consumption from 5 kg to 12 kg per capita.
4. Increasing contribution of the fisheries sector to the Agriculture GVA
from 7.28% in 2018-19 to about 9% by 2024-25.
On the SIXTH DAY (……………………..) of the fifth week, We
have
Implemented the project in the village.

 CHAPTER 5: OUTCOMES DESCRIPTION

SOCIO ECONOMIC SURVEY OF SIVAGANGA VILLAGE :

BANTUMALI:The total area of in over area is 466 hectares(4.66 sq.km). The living
area in this locality is 127.85 hectares,The area used in tree's and other miscellaneous plants is
24.28 hectares.The waste land in this locality is24.08 hectares.The Unirrigated land is 2.93
hectares.
The canals are covered with2.93 hectares,non agriculture land (area) is 45.06 hectares and
agriculture land is 101.86 remaining land is Aqua culture forming area is 137.01 Hectareas

Questionnaire used in the survey :

1. What is your family size?

2. How many of your family members are in aqua culture?
3. When did you starting the cultivation?
4. In how many hectares of land you are cultivating?
5. Whether the land is owned or lease hold?
6. Do you cultivate prawns or fishes?
7. How much margin do you expect from this farming?
8. Have you ever experienced the losses?
9. What is the initial capital amount should be required for farming?
10. What type of prawns/fishes you are cultivating?
11. What is the average expected cost for cultivating prawns/fishes?
12. From whom you got this idea to strart aqua cultivation?
 Describe the problems you have identified in the community

1.The main problem we have identified in the village is High Cost Initial Investment

2. The farmers in the village are being taken loans at very higher interest rates from

the

local lenders which creates a very high burden on the farmer.

3.Farmers in the village are still believing superstitions

4.Farmers in the village are still using old traditional methods which led to higher

maintenance cost which is the major backdrop for the aqua farmers

5.The villagers do not have any knowledge about the government welfare schemes

which leads to loss of several subsidies and grants.

6.Farmers are using artificial pesticides for their crops leads to the lower productivity

7.The farmers are facing the problems in relation to the prices at which the aqua output

( fish or prawns) is sold.

8.Farmers are using low quality Inputs as the feeding for the prawns or fishes.
 Short-term and long-term action plan for possible solutions for the
problems identified and that could be recommended to the concerned
authorities for implementation.

SHORT TERM ACTION PLANS:

1. Farmers should avoid taking loans from the local vendors.

2. Farmers should take loans from the bank unless any lower interest is charged by
others which create an opportunity to the farmer.

3. Farmers should stop believing superstitions.

4. Farmers should be regularly updated about the prevailing market prices.

5. Farmers should avoid the use of artificial pesticides.

6. Farmers should use natural pesticides for the higher productivity at lesser costs.

7. Farmers should regularly use higher quality inputs for the cultivation.

8. Farmers should be updated about the government welfare schemes such as

subsidies and grants etc.

LONG TERM ACTION PLANS:

1. Farmers should be updated to the advanced technology which creates higher

productivity at lower costs in the long run.

2. Farmers should use quality inputs on a constant basis which leads to the higher
quality output.

3. Farmers should be habituated to analyze the market interest rates which helps the
farmer to take the lower interest rate loan.

4. Appropriate authorities should provide training or education about the aqua culture
system to the farmers.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CONCERNED AUTHORITY:
According to the current study, majority of the farmers have lack of awareness on fishery
and aquaculture. They have interest and know the use of fish as source of food and as
source for house hold income generation. There were challenges on the study areas lack of
awareness, lack of input accessibility, poor water quality and shortage and financial
problem, environmental degradation, and climate change for fishery and aquaculture
production. This study indicates that the farmers in the study area have interest about
fishery and aquaculture.

Therefore, introduction of simple fishing gear for those areas with river to catch fish and
small scale pond aquaculture for the other group to farm fish can be identified.

Based on this, the following recommendations will be forwarded:

• To improve fish production in area, so stakeholders should support inputs, fishing gear
such fishing gear, fish seed, fish mealet that can be used for fish catching and fish farming.
• Almost no introduction of aquaculture technology in study areas, hence by improving
awareness and training of the community aquaculture technology can be adopted easily.
• Training should be given to the community concerning with the ways of fish catching,
fish meat importance, and the processing of fish product.
Description of the Community awareness programme/s conducted w.r.t the
problems and their outcomes.

The following community awareness programmes have been conducted:

Hosted a community awareness programme on 17/08/2022 about the importance of using
the advanced technology.

Analysis of Water Quality Management for the Fish Farming:
One of the most important prerequisites for prawn farming is good quality water. A farmer
while selecting his farming site should consider the source of water availability during
different seasons, its quality, and quantity.

S. Water Parameter Optimal Level

No
1 Temperature 28-33° c
2 Transparency 25 - 45 cm
3 pH 5-7
4 Oxygen Levels 5 – 7 ppm
5 Salinity 15 – 25 ppt
6 Alkalinity 200 ppm
7 Phosphorous 0.1 – 0.2 ppm
8 Nitrite <0.01 ppm
9 Nitrate <0.003 ppm
10 Ammonia <0.01 ppm
11 Cadmium <0.01 ppm
12 Chromium <0.1 ppm
13 Copper <0.025 ppm
14 Lead <0.1 ppm
15 Mercury <0.0001 ppm
16 Zinc <0.1 ppm

Feed Rates for Prawns:

In prawn farming, two types of food can be given for prawns to eat and grow. One, either
by feeding supplemented prawn food or special feeds and second, natural food that
consists of phytoplankton, zooplankton, worms, microorganisms, tiny shellfish and
decaying organic matter that is available in the water. Natural food increases by itself by
fertilizing the pond and the supplementary food is supplied on a timely basis in a regular
quantity depending on the stock intensity in the pond to grow. Prawns consume nutrients
directly from the water as well as feed on food that is available around it. In commercial
prawn farming, feed cost constitutes about 50 to 65% of the actual variable cost. However,
feeds will improve prawn production, giving high profits.

Prawn Body Feed Rate @

 Weight(Grams Body Weight %
) / day
2–3 7.0 – 8.0
3–5 5.5 – 7.0
5 - 10 4.5 – 5.5
10 - 15 3.8 – 4.5
15 - 20 3.2 – 3.8
20 - 30 2.5 – 3.2
30 - 40 2.1 – 2.5

 CHAPTER 6: RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS OF
THE MINI PROJECT
There are several recommendations for the development of aquaculture in the
Village, including the following:

1. Promote sustainable and responsible aquaculture practices : It is important to

promote sustainable and responsible aquaculture practices in India in order to
protect the environment and ensure the long-term viability of the industry. This
could include measures such as using sustainable feed sources, minimizing the use
of chemicals and antibiotics, and avoiding the introduction of non-native species.

2. Invest in research and development : Investing in research and development is

critical for the continued growth and development of the aquaculture industry in
India. This could include research into new species, improved farming techniques,
and more efficient and sustainable production methods.

3. Improve infrastructure and access to markets: Improving infrastructure and

access to markets is important for the growth of the aquaculture industry in India.
This could include investing in roads, ports, and other transportation infrastructure
to facilitate the movement of fish and seafood from farms to markets.

4. Promote the consumption of fish and seafood: Promoting the consumption of fish
and seafood is important for the growth of the aquaculture industry in India. This
could include education campaigns to raise awareness of the health benefits of fish
and seafood, as well as initiatives to make fish and seafood more affordable and
accessible to a wider range of consumers.

5. Support small-scale and artisanal fisheries: Supporting small-scale and artisanal

fisheries is important for the growth and development of the aquaculture industry in
India. This could include providing access to credit, training, and other resources to
help small-scale and artisanal fishers improve their productivity and profitability.

Conclusion of the Mini Project:

 A possible mini project on aquaculture could involve researching the
current state of the aquaculture industry in BANTUMALI. The project could involve
collecting data on the types of species that are farmed, the production methods and
technologies used, and the challenges and opportunities facing the industry.

Once the data has been collected, the project could involve
analyzing the data to identify trends and patterns, and then presenting the findings in a
report or presentation. The project could also include recommendations for how the
aquaculture industry in the region could be improved or developed.

In addition to the research and analysis, the project could also

involve conducting interviews with aquaculture farmers, industry experts, and other
stakeholders to gain a deeper understanding of the industry and its challenges and
opportunities. The project could also include a field visit to an aquaculture farm to see the
farming processes and technologies in action.
