● Aquaculture refers to commercial farming of
seafood such as fish, prawns and crabs.

processed form in domestic and export
market.
● Aqua animals found in India can be divided

shrimps and crabs and inland fresh water
fish including Rohu, Catla, Mrigala, Grass
Carp.
● The growth of the aqua industry has spurred
the growth of a large number of supporting
industries such as manufacturing fish feed
and equipment/products for catching and
processing fish.

resources with 587,000 hectares of
fishable area, but it is ranked eighth in
fish production, having produced
220,000 tons of fish in 2016, according to
state fisheries ministry.

9. Government Support for
Aquaculture
● The State government has extended 100 per cent grant
for fish seed distribution to all gram panchayats in the

vending units on mopeds, 1,000 vending units in autos,
400 portable fish vending kiosks, 200 hygienic fish
transport vehicles and 60 insulated trucks

have the Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute
(CIFRI) study the state’s fish production.
● CIFRI and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research
(ICAR) will undertake the study in 2018.

13. Example

14. Challenges for
Aquaculture in Andhra
● Andhra Pradesh's 974-km-long coastline
and large areas of adjacent flatlands offer a
positive geographical package.
● However Little literature on fish farming is
available, and what can be got is in English
and not the Telugu, the local language.
● Technicians are few and far between, and
farmers' methods are mainly based on
hearsay.
● Lack of information on techniques could
prove costly, especially in the area of
disease prevention, as diseases could ruin
entire crops.

15. Positive Signals
● The Andhra Pradesh Shrimp Seed Production,
Supply and Research Centre is doubling its
seed production capacity to 80 million by
pumping in Rs 1.27 crore to meet the state's
requirement of 320 million.
● It also plans to launch a new Rs 2.67-crore
shrimp project, under which it will set up 12
hatcheries that will supply quality seeds to
the farmers.
● World Bank is pitching in, with a Rs 88-crore,
five-year developmental project which will
start this year. It will promote shrimp
cultivation in 3,810 hectares and pisciculture
in 15,000 hectares along the state coastline.
