Problems Prospects of F.W.Aquaculture
in Andhra Pradesh
10
BASIC CONCERNS

• Lack of comprehensive Inland fishery policy
• Silting up of tanks and Infestation of tanks by
  weeds
• No new varieties ( other than Catla, Rohu etc)
  are introduced
• Inadequate conservancy measures , causing
  depletion
• Unhygienic fish landing centers
• Lack of concern for environmental protection
• Inadequate credit facilities and infrastructure
  facilities
• Lack of coverage of Aquaculture by Insurance
  companies
• Low rate of production in reservoirs

Prospects for FW Prawn(Scampi) culture

• We need to improve the income level of the
  fishermen
• FW Prawn (Scampi) has good export demand.
• It is hardy has no disease problems.
• Cultured in the existing irrigation tanks along
  with fish ,without any capital investment
• There are adequate no.s of hatcheries ( more than
  50 ) to supply sufficient seed.
• The culture technology is simple, easy to adopt.
• It can generate addl.income employment.

• Concerns in Coastal Aquaculture
• Loss of Crop due to diseases
• a) First incidence of White spot
  disease in 1994 95
• b) Crop holiday helped to improve the
  situation
• but it was not a lasting solution.
• .

19

• Pro-active measures adopted
• Traditional Improved traditional culture
  practices adopted ..
• Using of quality PCR- tested seed from hatcheries
  is stocked as per norms of stocking
• Usage of quality feed and Probiotics .
• Discouraging use of antibiotics .
• Encouraging use of alternate varieties such as
  Sea bass( Lates) , Chanos etc.
• Setting of ETP units for farm areas of 5 ha
  above.

20

• Conducting of Awareness camps
• OBJECTIVE Educating farmers on
• Eco-friendly culture practices,
• Animal health monitoring and
• Regularisation of shrimp culture
• through Aquaculture Authority etc.,
  
• 
  1998-99 1999-00 2000-01 2001-02
• Awareness Camps conducted 21 77

21

• Organization of Aqua clubs
• OBJECTIVE To promote cooperative approaches
  in tackling common management practices such as
  
• water management - quantity and quality
• staggering of seed stocking
• quality of seed feed,
• common health monitoring
• 128 no.s of Aqua clubs ( 3321 members) are
  formed.

• Antibiotic Residue testing labs.
• 4 Antibiotic residue testing labs being set up in
  A.P.
• One at Vizag by CIFT (ICAR)
• One at Kakinada by Govt. of A.P. (
  Dept.of Fisheries )
• One at Bhimavaram by MPEDA
• One at Nellore by MPEDA
• One Mobile lab at Kakinada is being introduced
