- Problem: Irregular sizes of fingerlings and inadequate stocking number with least management practices have resulted in fish yield < 600 kg/ha in village tanks which hinder the farmers interest besides longer duration of production.
- Source of technology : KVAFSU- Bidar, UAS-Bengaluru and progressive farmers of Andhra Pradesh
- Characteristics of technology: Higher stocking density, Bigger size of fingerlings, Better feed management, Good market price, Continuous harvesting and stocking in tandem
- KVK interventions: Technology assessments, Frontline demonstrations, trainings with introduction of new species for culture, innovative approaches in feed management have helped in increasing the aquaculture area from 5 ha to 85 ha during the past 8 years.
- Achievements: Yields have increased from 5 t /ha to 20 t/ha. Species like major carps and Pangasius have taken dominant share in production. Farmers have learnt to maintain smaller ponds along with bigger ponds for rearing fish fingerlings to larger size and then stock which help in better survivality and C:B is 1:3
