Description CMFRI has developed an economically viable and ecofriendly
hatchery technology suited to Indian conditions, for the seed
production of Penaeus indicus. The technology consists of a number
of package of practices such as broodstock management, spawning,
larval rearing, diatom culture and preparation of particulate feed for
the postlarvae. The various package of practices are
compartmentalised in separate units so as to maintain proper hygiene
and prevent/reduce the incidence of outbreak of diseases. The
larvae from protozoea through mysis 2/3 are fed exclusively on diatom.
From mysis 2/3 stage to postlarvae 2 to 5 are fed with prawn
custard along with diatom. The postlarvae 2 to 5 are transferred to
the nursery and reared using egg prawn custard. Details on the
maintenance of live feed culture and preparation of egg prawn custard
are given. Mention is also made on the hatchery management
and economics of two types of hatcheries. The main emphasis of the
technology is to make the best use of the available resources and to
harness the natural solar radiation and light to the maximum thereby
providing an ecofriendly technology which is cost effective.
