Aquaculture development in inland salt affected under/un productive areas of south west districts (Fazilka, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Bathida and Mansa)
Fresh water carp culture in low saline areas (<5 ppt) - Economic return: 1.0-1.25/ha/yr
Vannamei shrimp Culture in high saline areas (10-25 ppt) - Economic return : 7.5 -10 lakh/ha/crop of 100-120 days
Brood stock development and breeding of common carp in inland saline water up to 5ppt salinity
fresh water prawn and murrel culture in inland saline waters
Diversification - Species and culture system diversification for higher productivity
Pangas catfish (Pangasianodon hypothalamus) culture with 3 times higher productivity and 2.5 times higher profit per unit area as compared to traditional carp culture practices
Successful brood stock production under agro-climatic conditions of the state through poly-house overwintering and in-situ overwintering in earthen ponds
Successful induced breeding of pangas catfish for the first time in northwest region of the country.
Fresh water prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) culture - Monoculture & poly-culture with fresh water carps
Induced breeding of catfishes - Heteropneustes fossilis (Singhi) and Clarias batrachus (Indian magur), without sacrificing males
Natural breeding of murrels under simulated natural environment
Introduction of new species - Kalbasu, Amur carp and Tilapia (GIFT)
Pond Cage
Aquaculture - Rearing of high values food/ornamental fish in cages in deep fresh
water carp production ponds (suitable water surplus areas)
Aquaculture Nutrition
Herbal supplements and nutraceuticals for enhancing
growth, immunity and reproductive potential- Garlic, Ashwagandha, Amla, ginger Aloe vera, turmeric, neem, moringa, castor etc.
Low cost feed formulation with regionally
available nutritive non-conventional feed resources- Duckweeds (Spirodela and lemna), Azolla, Eichhornia, pressmud, molasses etc.
Live food culture
Ornamental fisheries
Package and practices for brood stock development, captive breeding and larval rearing of ornamental fishes for quality seed production under climatic conditions of the state
Egg layer - gold fish & koi carp
Live bearing - platy, molly, swordtail, zebra fish, rosy barb
Integrated fish farming
Fish cum duck farming model for regional - 40-50% saving on input cost for fish rearing and 50-60% higher income from sale of fish, duck eggs and meat
Bioremediation of waste water (recycling/recuse)
Duckweed based bioremediation technology for recycling of dairy shed waste water for aquaculture - Recycling of treated water in aquaculture and utilization harvested duckweed biomass for fish feeding in fresh and dry form)
Azolla Culture Technology
Improved Azolla culture technology high protein aqua-fodder production for livestock fish & ducks
