Main strategies for conservation of fish biodiversity in Kuttanad area are
1. Stock enhancement of indigenous species and release of hatchery reared seeds.
2. Rehabilitation of vital habitats by establishing sanctuaries
3. Development of viable breeding techniques for the indigenous species under controlled conditions .
3
Etroplus Suratensis or Karimeen the largest indegenous cichlid in Kuttanad the fishery of which is on the decline
The species exposed to high fishing pressure and environmental alternations and is categorned as vulnerable
4
Etroplus Suratensis is essentially a brackish water fish that has become naturally acclimatized to inland water
Although the fish breeds naturally in confined condition, production is most erratic
Lack of required quantities of fish seed, the most serious constraint for expansion of culture
This needs the establishment of a hatchery
5
I. Establishment of Model Hatchery & Training Centre for Propogation & Farming
of Karimeen in Ayiramthengu Fish Farm
Objectives
Establishment of model hatchery and training centre for
seed production of Karimeen
Promote backyard seed production in coastal areas
Establishment of a feed mill for production low cost feed
6
Ayiramthengu farm situated in Ward 2 in Alappad Village. Farm is bounded by Kayamkulam kayal at East, T.S canal at West
Total Area : 52.21 acreFarm Area : 36.29 acreMangrove Area : 16.06 acre
7
Project components
1. Establishment of Model Fish hatchery and seed farm for breeding & farming
2. Captive breeding and mass production of seeds of pearl spot
3. Setting up of Model Fish Feed unit
8
Activities
1. Establishment of brood stock mgt ponds . The existing ponds, have to be strengthened to utilise as brood stock mgt ponds.
2. Desiting and deepening of ponds3. Establishment of Karimeen hatchery,
construction of cement tanks4. Establishment of modern diagnostic
laboratory for water quality monitoring.5. Establishment of modern fish feed mill6. Establishment of training centre.

II. Revival of Productivity of Pearl Spot & Giant Prawns on Life cycle Approach
Objective 1. To revive & enhance the endemic fishes
of pearl spot & giant prawn by setting up sanctuaries
2. Ranching of hatchery reared seeds of ‘scampi’
Strategy
Development of designated areas in Vembanad as protected sanctuaries by installation of artificial roof & nest **
Stocking of endemic fish species through ranching
10 Hac area will be enclosed by planting coconut and bamboo piles at close intervals.
Established by RARS, Kumarakom
In-situ conservation of E.suratensis in Vembanad lake
Coconut shell as substrates
Laterite blocks as reefs
. Restoration Ranching There has been increase in fishing pressure for
prawns. The revival of the fishing can be attributed by ranching of hatchery reared seeds.
A scientific method for nursing in enclosure cages prior to release, to open waters is suggested for better survival
Open water nurseries in Vembenad lake
PP shade net cage nurseries
Implementing Agency : Department of Fisheries
Technical Support : RARS, KumarakomTotal cost for 2 : Rs. 100 lakhs sanctuariesTotal cost for ranching : Rs. 100 lakhs
Cluster based cage culture of Pearl Spot in Kuttanad area
Strategy : Eco friendly farming of Karimeen in cages to utilise the carrying capacity of water bodies and argument fish production and generating income.
Advantage : Low Investment Mortality low Simple management technique
22
Project Area : Suitable open water bodies in
Vembanad LakeBeneficiaries : Self help group residing
near the water areaTechnical support : RARS, Kumarakom
