Course Name : Aquaculture in Reservoirs

Code(Credit) : FSAQ 1207 (1-1-0)

Course Objectives

  • To study about the Aquaculture in Reservoirs
  • To know about history and development of Aquaculture in Reservoirs
  • To provide new species and strengthening stocks of  fish in reservoir.

Learning Outcomes

  • Production of protein rich, nutritive, palatable and easily digestible human food benefiting the whole society through plentiful food supplies at low or reasonable cost in reservoir
  • Providing new species and strengthening stocks of existing fish in natural and man-made water-bodies through artificial recruitment and transplantation.
  • Production of sportfish and support to recreational fishing.
  • Production of bait-fish for commercial and sport fishery.
  • Production of ornamental fish for aesthetic appeal.
  • Recycling of organic waste of human and livestock origin.

Course Syllabus

  • Theory
    Definition of reservoirs in India; nature and extent of reservoirs, topography and species diversity; importance of morpho-edaphic index in reservoir productivity and classification; factors influencing fish production; trophic phases in reservoir; pre-impoundment and postimpoundment stages and their significance in establishment of reservoirs fisheries. Salient features of reservoir limnology and their significance to fisheries development; management of small, medium and large reservoirs; present status and future prospects in reservoirs fish production. Fisheries of some important reservoirs; recent advances in reservoirs fisheries management; conservation measures in reservoir fisheries. Fish stocking in Reservoirs Role of cage and pen culture in site of cage culture; cage materials,designs, shape, size and fabrication; cage frames and supporting system. Integration of cage ulture with other farming systems. History of pen culture, pen materials, fabrication; breeding of fish in pen; rearing of spawn in pen; grow-out from pens. Suitable species for culture in cages and pens; constraints in cage and pen culture; economics of cage and pen culture.
  • Practicals
  • Preparation of charts on the present situation of reservoirs fisheries productivity; detailed case studies of selected reservoirs on the changing trends in capture fisheries profile; drawing inferences from the analysis of data; suggestions for the sustainable development of reservoirs fisheries. Case studies on cage and pen culture; field visit to cage and pen culture site to acquaint with construction details and operation.
