INTRODUCTION
Telangana at Glance:
Telangana is the 29th state of India, formed on 2nd of June 2014. The state has an area of
1,14,840 Sq Km and has a population of 3, 52, 86,757. The Telangana, the youngest State
in the Union of India, needs all round development.
Fisheries is a traditional and important occupation in Telangana State apart from being an
important source of nutrition. Fisheries sector is contributing about 0.6 percent to the GSDP
in 2015-16. Telangana state is ranked 3rd in terms of Inland fishery resources after Karnataka
and Tamil Nadu and ranked 7th in terms of Fish production.
The state has vast and diverse resources in the form of tanks/ponds (both seasonal and
perennial), reservoirs, rivers and canals, water harvesting structures, non-conventional water
bodies. The very presence of over 5.721 lakh ha inland water spread area representing 77
large, medium and minor reservoirs with TWSA of 1.679 lakh ha; 24112 tanks accounting
TWSA of 4.04 lakh ha comprising 4647 departmental tanks with 3.041 lakh ha TWSA and
19465 GP tanks with 1.00 Lakh ha of TWSA. In addition to the irrigation sources, there are
500 Aquaculture ponds covering about 1000 ha and 1808 KM long canals and rivers. Further,
the rich fish biodiversity harbouring over one hundred and sixty five species of fishes in its
diversified inland waters also adds to the resource potential of the state.
Keeping the above in mind, the Government of Telangana aims at:
 Increasing fish production from existing 2.2 Lakh tonnes to 4.7 Lakh tonnes
 Creating an enabling environment for integrated development of the full potential of
fisheries of the State.
 Achieving self- sufficiency in production of fish seed
 Diversification of fish rearing activity (cage culture, pond culture, integrated farming
etc)
 Sustainability of fisheries sector by increasing production and productivity keeping in
view of bio-security and environmental concerns
 Improving the hygienic marketing infrastructure
2
In this context, the Government of Telangana is taking up a massive programme of stocking
the fish fingerlings on 100% grant in all water bodies in the State and extending various
developmental schemes to increase in fish production and productivity, promote new
technologies like cage culture, RAS etc., promoting investments to create infrastructure, apart
from implementing fishermen welfare schemes of the State and Center with a vision to reach
4th rank in terms of Fish Production in the Country. During the year 2017-18, the Government
has taken up stocking of 51 crores of fish seed in 11067 water bodies 1.08 crores of hatchery
reared fresh water prawn juveniles in 12 reservoirs on pilot basis. During the year 2018-19 it
is planned to stock 77.00 Crores of fish fingerlings and 5.00 crores of Prawn Juveniles in all
the reservoirs, departmental and Gram Panchyat tanks.
For “Holistic development of the sector, with focus on enhancement of productivity and
production, self-sufficiency in fish seed demand, supply of fish at an affordable price in
hygienic condition and to promote aquaculture in a big way, it is proposed to take up (17)
components under Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries
during the year 2018-19 with Central Financial Assistance of Rs. 100.00 Crores.

Name of the project: Construction of New Ponds and Tanks
I. Introduction:
The state has 74 major, medium and minor irrigation projects, 4,324 minor irrigation
tanks having more than 100 acres of ayacut and 474 Aquaculture ponds covering 781 ha.
There is a potential for conversion of fallow lands or agriculturally unproductive lands
under irrigation systems into aqua culture ponds for production of fish and generation of
employment in rural areas besides augmentation of supplies of fish particularly in rural
areas.
II. Background
At present 95% of the inland fish production comes from three main sources ie.,
Reservoirs, irrigation tanks and rivers. The contribution from aquaculture is negligible in
the state. Earlier fish ponds were promoted by the Fish Farmers’ Development Agencies
and under the Prime Minister’s Special Package programme implemented in suicide prone
districts. There are 474 Aquaculture ponds covering 781 ha. in the state at present.
However, due to various reasons, this potential has remained untapped for lack of
awareness. Thus, there is an urgent need for promoting pond culture in the State for more
employment, more livelihood, more income and more nutritional & food security. It is
therefore proposed to bring an additional area of 200 ha under semi-intensive aquaculture
in the state during the year 2017-18.
III. Objectives:
 To increase income of the farmers by conversion of unproductive lands to aquaculture

ponds for fish culture.
 To promote integrated fish farming with dairy and poultry and generate employment in
rural areas and
 To augment overall fish production of the state through aquaculture.
IV. Feasibility Study:
There is a plenty of scope for both expansion and further intensification of fish
aquaculture in farmers’ ponds in the state. Earlier, there were little efforts for promotion of
aquaculture in the private sector. The allocations were very meager and the unit cost was
far less than the actual cost. With the announcement of the Central and State Governments
7
giving top priority to the Fisheries Sector and increased allocation of budget by both the
Governments coupled with the publicity given by the department, several farmers are
evincing interest for conversion of their lands into fish ponds.
 The applications received are from potential places in districts in the State.
 The applied farmers are either received training in aquaculture or willing to

take training or are traditional / occupational fishermen.
 The increased demand for fish in the state, partly due to health consciousness
and partly due to increased purchasing power, has thrown up opportunities for
farmers to go for aqua culture.
V. Organization and Management of Project:

In Telangana state, the permission by the District Level Committee consisting of the
District Collector as Chairman and the District Irrigation, Agriculture, Ground water and
Fisheries Officers as members is compulsory for establishment of aqua farms. The objectives
to regulate the setting up of units are discouraging productive lands from being converted into
fish ponds, avoiding depletion of ground water and for promotion of culture of indigenous
species and permitted exotic species.
The Fisheries Department has a District Fisheries Officer in every district supported
by the field staff and are capable of implementing the project. The trainings will be imparted
and exposure visits will be conducted before grounding of the projects. The funds received
from the Government of India are released to the districts from where the proposals are
received and the operational guidelines are given for implementation of the project. The
sanction and release of subsidy is back-end i.e., after completion of the project. The
measurements of the fish ponds will be done by the engineering department as nominated by
the District Collector and with the approval of the District Collectors, the eligible subsidy
will be released to the beneficiary.
VI. Risk Assessment:
The selected sites are not prone to floods and have adequate water availability. Only
indigenous and permitted exotic fish species will be allowed for culture. The risk of diseases
is also remote because of scattered nature of ponds and import of good quality fish seed
coupled with adoption of good management practices.

Name of the project: Input Cost for Fish Culture in Ponds and Tanks
1. Introduction:
The use of quality fish seed and fish feed are crucial for achieving the optimum fish
production. Other input costs are power charges, watch and ward, fertilizers, sanitizers,
probiotics, etc. The input cost per kg will be around Rs. 46. The extension of subsidy on
inputs for the first year is necessary as this activity is not popular and farmers are
apprehensive of incurring huge expenditure. The optimum levels of fish production are
possible when inputs are used quantitatively and qualitatively. In subsequent years, the
famers are able to meet the maintenance costs and input costs from the profits.
2. Objectives and rationale of the project:
 To enable the farmer to use quality seed and feed and other inputs in recommended
quantities.
 To augment fish production in the state and to ensure its availability round the year.
 To make this activity sustainable and profitable and instill confidence among farmers.
3. Selection of Farmers:
A. The farmers who have availed subsidy for construction of fish pond and taken up fish
culture as per recommended practices are eligible.
B. The release of subsidy will be done at the end of the crop after verification of
vouchers and physical inspection of pond and trail netting.
4. Organization and Management of Project:
A. In the state of Telangana, the permission by the District Level Committee consisting of
the District Collector as Chairman and the District Irrigation, Agriculture, Ground water
and Fisheries Officers as members is compulsory for establishment of aqua farms. The
objectives to regulate the setting up of units are discouraging productive lands from
being converted into fish ponds, avoiding depletion of ground water and for promotion of
culture of indigenous species and permitted exotic species.
B. The Fisheries Department has a District Fisheries Officer in every district supported
by the field staff and are capable of implementing the project. The trainings will be
imparted and exposure visits will be conducted before grounding of the projects. The
14
funds received from the Government of India and State Government are released to the
districts from where the proposals are received and the operational guidelines are given
for implementation of the project as per guidelines. The sanction and release of subsidy is
back-end i.e., after completion of the project. The measurements of the fish ponds will be
done by the engineering department as nominated by the District Collector and with the
approval of the District Collectors, the eligible subsidy will be released to the beneficiary.
indigenous and permitted exotic fish species will be allowed for culture. The risk of
diseases is also remote because of scattered nature of ponds and import of good quality
fish seed coupled with adoption of good management practices.

Name of the project: Establishment of Fish Seed Hatcheries
I. Introduction:
Availability of quality seed of cultivable freshwater fish species has always been a
limiting factor for intensification of fish production. There is a requirement of about 50.00
Crores advanced fingerlings in the State to cover all the water bodies where as the production
of advanced fingerings is very meager. The demand is likely to go up after completion of
ongoing projects. The fishermen are facing difficulties in procurement of seed in required
quantities over long distances, which are adding to the cost of inputs. There are 29
departmental Fish Seed Farms with a capacity of 11 crores of fry production. In private
sector, there are 10 farms 10 crores fingerlings production. The total spawn required is 350
crores. Therefore, to meet the requirement of fish seed, it is proposed to support
entrepreneurs/ farmers in setting up of 100 Fish seed hatcheries in private sector during 2018-
19.
II. Objectives:
1. To achieve self sufficiency in the requirement of the fish seed in the State.
2. To support entrepreneurs/ farmers in setting up of hatcheries and generate
employment.
3. To augment overall fish production of the state through supply of quality fish seed.
4. To decrease cost of production by providing quality fish seed locally.
III. Components:
A. Hatchery:
The Chinese model of carp circular eco-hatchery is proposed because it is economical,

easily operated, cost effective, overcome space constraint, conserves water and maintains
optimum ecological parameters during fish breeding and hatching. Within a small space, this
system simulates some aspects of natural environment necessary to induce breeding and has
proved itself to be a very successful method for large scale production of spawn of Indian
major carps, minor carps and exotic carps.
B. Brood Stock unit

The brood stock unit have earthen ponds of sizes which may vary from 0.2 -1.0 ha but
the preferable size would be of 0.3-0.5 ha and depth of 2.0-2.5 m. for better management of
brood stock with facilities of water supply and drainage.
19
C. Nurseries:
Either earthen or RCC nurseries for rearing of spawn to fry will be constructed and
connected with water supply and drainage. These nurseries consume 50% of the space.
IV. Implementation methodology:
Beneficiaries of this activity will be trained in seed production techniques of farmed

species with further scope of diversification to breeding of other potential species. Unit cost
will be Rs. 25.00 lakh and beneficiary will get 50% central assistance support and 50% has to
be borne by the beneficiaries. The District Fisheries Officer will implement the component
with the help of Fisheries Development Officer concerned and release the subsidy after
completion of the hatchery with the measurements recorded by the engineering department as
nominated by the District Collector and with the approval of the District Collector.

From each unit of hatchery, 2.5 crores of spawn is anticipated and when it is reared
into fry, 1 crore of fry fish seed is expected.
VII. Source of funding:
The unit cost for Establishment of freshwater fish seed hatcheries is Rs. 25.00 Lakh
per unit in an area of 2.0 ha and financial assistance from Central and State Government is
40% of the unit cost with a ceiling of Rs.10.00 lakh per unit, and balance 60% by the
beneficiary .
VIII. Risk Assessment: The selection of disease free brood stock and its management on
scientific methods will result in production of quality fish seed. The location of the selected
hatcheries are scattered and the chances of spread of diseases are remote. Since only
21
cultivable species are promoted, there will not be any threat to the aquatic environment.

Name of the project: Establishment of Fish Seed Rearing Ponds
I. Introduction:
The availability of quality fingerlings of 80-100 mm size is a prerequisite for

augmentation of fish production from reservoirs/tanks and in culture ponds because of higher
survival and growth when fingerlings are stocked.
In the state, there is a demand of about 57 crores of which 15 crores are being produced
from existing department and private fish seed farms. Before bifurcation of State of Andhra
Pradesh, it was a surplus State in fingerlings production but the location of farms was
concentrated in 3 districts namely Krishna, West Godavari and East Godavari which went to
the residual state.
The gap is being filled by procuring from the state of Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal
but it is fraught with higher expenditure and mortality. The infrastructure facilities for rearing
of spawn / fry to fingerlings is very limited in the department fish seed farms due to limited
availability of land and water. The scope available is in private sector. The demand is also
very high as majority of fishers and aqua farmers have adapted to stocking of fingerlings.
Therefore, to meet the requirements of fish fingerlings, it is proposed to support
farmers/entrepreneurs, in setting up of fish seed rearing units for raising large size fish
fingerlings of 80-100 mm.
II. Objectives:
A. To promote the fish seed rearing in private sector.

B. To meet the demand of fingerlings.
C. To provide employment to the rural youth.
D. To augment overall fish production of the state through augmentation of
unit area productivity.
E. Make available of good quality fish to the consumer.
III. Project period: 2018-19

The identified beneficiaries will be trained in fish seed rearing by imparting techniques of
management of nurseries, rearing ponds, catching and handling. The technical support will be
given by the department. The construction works will be done by the beneficiaries themselves
under the guidance of technical expertise of engineers and District Fisheries Officers as per
the design.
30
V. Source of funding:
The unit cost for Fish seed rearing units is Rs. 6.00 Lakh per ha. and financial assistance
from Central and state Government is 40% and balance 60% will be borne by the
beneficiary.
VI. Expected Outcome:
From each hectare of rearing pond, the expected output of fingerlings is 6 lakh. The
same will be supplied to the local fishermen cooperatives for stocking in reservoirs and tanks.
The availability of fish seed within state will not only reduce the input cost but also results in
increased fish production and profits. The mortality and transport costs will come down
drastically.

The selection of disease free spawn and fry and management on scientific methods
will result in production of quality fingerlings. The location of the selected rearing ponds are
scattered and the chances of spread of diseases are remote. Since only cultivable species are
promoted, there will not be any threat to the aquatic environment when the fish seed escapes
into natural water bodies.

Name of the project: Input Cost for Fish Seed Rearing Ponds
I. Introduction:
The stocking of fingerlings in reservoirs and tanks is gaining momentum for

optimization of fish production. The large size fish seed (80-100 mm) has the advantages of
higher survival and fast growth. Presently the fish seed rearing ponds are inadequate leading
to shortage of fingerlings. There is a dire need to encourage excavation of fish seed rearing
ponds and provision of subsidy on inputs for the first year in order to reduce the financial
burden on the beneficiary and also to offset price fluctuation. The inputs cost constitute
almost 60 to 80 % of the total expenditure on fingerlings production.
II. Objectives:
A. The provision of input cost for the first year of fingerlings production is to reduce
financial burden to the farmer / entrepreneur.
B. It is an encouragement to the farmer / entrepreneur to use quality inputs for production

of quality fingerlings.
III. Project period: 2018-19
The identified beneficiaries will be trained in use of inputs qualitatively and quantitatively
in order to achieve desired levels of fingerlings production with quality. The usage of quality
inputs and their recommended does / quantities will be given by the technical officers of the
department. The inputs like spawn / fry, manures, feed, fertilizers, insecticides, etc used by
the beneficiaries are recorded in the registers and based on the records and output of
fingerlings, the eligible subsidy will be released as per the operational guidelines issued.
V. Source of funding:
The unit cost for input cost per ha. of fish seed rearing pond is Rs. 1.5 Lakh and financial
assistance from Central and state Government is 40% and remaining 60% by the
beneficiary.

2. Background
The fishery rights of the reservoirs in the state are either leased out to the Fishermen
Cooperative Societies or individual fishermen by issuing fishing permits to make fishing
operations. The present productivity of the reservoirs is about 80 kg/ ha. It is proposed to
utilise the reservoirs for installation of aquaculture cages to get more productivity from the
reservoirs, to facilitate more employment and double the income of the fishers and
entrepreneurs with special focus on increasing productivity and better marketing post harvest
infrastructure with modern technologies and global best innovations
39
During the year 2014-15 the Department has implemented Cage culture demonstration project in 5
reservoirs namely 1) Palair of Khammam District 2) LMD of Karimnagar District 3)Kadam of
Adilabad District 4) Koilsagar of Mahboobnagar District and 5) Ashok sagar of Nizamabad District
and results are quite encouraging
During the year 2016-17 it is proposed to install (800) cage in (29) reservoirs with a total
outlay of Rs. 2000.00 Lakh. The reservoirs are identified for installation of cages based on the
criteria of the depth of water, accessibility, interest of the fishermen, absence of the predators
like crocodiles, wind action on the location of the cages, convenience in providing feed,
maintenance, harvest of fish etc. 330.00 cages have been installed.

Name of the project: Construction of Re-circulatory Aquaculture System (RAS)
I. Introduction:
A recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) is a new and unique way to farm fish. Instead of
the traditional method of growing fish outdoors in open ponds, this system rears fish at high
densities, in indoor tanks with a "controlled" environment. Recirculation aquaculture is
essentially a technology for farming fish by reusing the water in the production. The technology is
based on the use of mechanical and biological filters, and the method can in principle be used for
any species grown in aquaculture such as fish, shrimps, clams, etc. Recirculation technology is
however primarily used in fish farming.
Recirculation is growing rapidly in many areas of the fish farming sector, and systems are
deployed in production units that vary from huge plants generating many tonnes of fish per
year for consumption.
Recirculation can be carried out at different intensities depending on how much water is
recirculated or re-used. Some farms are super intensive farming systems installed inside a
closed insulated building using as little as 300 litres of new water, and sometimes even less,
per kilo of fish produced per year. Other systems are traditional outdoor farms that have
been rebuilt into recirculated systems using around 3 m3 new water per kilo of fish produced
per year. Seen from an environmental point of view, the limited amount of water used in
recirculation is of course beneficial as water has become a limited resource in many
regions. Also, the limited use of water makes it much easier and cheaper to remove the
nutrients excreted from the fish as the volume of discharged water is much lower than that
discharged from a traditional fish farm. Recirculation aquaculture can therefore be
considered a most environmentally friendly way of producing fish at a commercially viable
level. The nutrients from the farmed fish can be used as fertilizer on agricultural farming
land or as a basis for biogas production.
Most interesting though, is the fact that the limited use of water gives a huge benefit to the
production inside the fish farm. Traditional fish farming is totally dependent on external
conditions such as the water temperature in the tanks, cleanliness of the water, oxygen
levels, or weed and leaves drifting downstream and blocking the inlet screens, etc. In a
recirculated system these external factors are eliminated either completely or partly,
depending on the degree of recirculation and the construction of the plant.
48
Recirculation enables the fish farmers to completely control all the parameters in the
production, and the skills of the farmer to operate the recirculation system itself becomes
just as important as his ability to take care of the fish.
Controlling parameters such as water temperature, oxygen levels, or daylight for that matter,
give stable and optimal conditions for the fish, which again gives less stress and better
growth. These stable conditions result in a steady and foreseeable growth pattern that
enables the farmer to precisely predict when the fish will have reached a certain stage or size.
The major advantage of this feature is that a precise production plan can be drawn up and
that the exact time the fish will be ready for sale can be predicted. This favours the overall
management of the farm and strengthens the ability to market the fish in a competitive way.
II. Background
Aquaculture requires knowledge, good husbandry, persistence and sometimes nerves of

steel. Shifting from traditional fish farming into recirculation does make many things
easier, however at the same time it requires new and greater skills. To be successful in this
quite advanced type of aquaculture for training and education for which purpose this new
scheme is introduced in the Telangana State. It is therefore proposed (8) eight Re-
circulatory Aquaculture Systems in the state during the year 2018-19.
III. Objectives:
 Reduced water requirements as compared to pond aquaculture systems. Decreased by

90%
 Reduced land needs due to the high stocking density
 Site selection flexibility and independence from a large, clean water source.
 Reduction in waste water effluent volume. Environmental friendly.
 Increased biosecurity and ease in treating disease outbreaks if any.
 Ability to closely monitor and control environmental conditions to maximize
production efficiency. Similarly, independence from weather and variable
environmental conditions. Can be used in extreme weather zone also with ease.
 High output fish from minimal area with fish density ranging upto 50-150kg/m3 under
perfect conditions
IV. Selection of farmers:
C. The farmers who have availed training and courses related to RAS are eligible.
D. The release of subsidy will be done as per the progress of the work done.
49
B. In the state of Telangana, the permission must be obtained well in advance for setting
up of the Recirculatory Aquaculture System from District Fisheries Officer
concerned for promotion of culture of indigenous species and permitted exotic
species in a controlled environment.
C. The Fisheries Department has a District Fisheries Officer in every district supported by
the field staff are capable of implementing the project. The trainings will be imparted
and exposure visits will be conducted before grounding of the projects. The funds
received from the Government of India and State Government released to the districts
from where the proposals are received and the operational guidelines are given for
implementation of the project as per guidelines. The sanction and release of subsidy is
back-end i.e., after completion of the project. The measurements of the civil works

climatic conditions. Our system is designed on 300m2 area. It is designed for production of
10 Metric Tons per crop cycle. Due to multiple tank design we can harvest periodically every
monthly if needed
System Components:
1. Fish Tanks : 20 circular tanks each filled with 10,000 Liters of water . Fingerlings of
size 100gm are introduced and grown up to marketable size of 1kg with in 8months.
Or Planning of fish cycle according to what is needed for the client
2. Water Pump : two Recirculation water pumps of capacity 50000 Liters per minute
is used. Pump power rating is ~1hp.
3. Drum Filter : It filters all the fish waste using 100 mesh.
4. Sediment Filter : Any settable solids which pass trough the drum filter needs to be
filtered. This filter allows water to pass through at very low flow rate to give time for
solid particles to settle.
5. Bio Filter : 2 cubic meter of bio media is used to convert amounia to nitrite and from
nitrite to nitrate.
6. De-Gassing Chamber : This is used to remove any unwanted gases like nitrates and
co2 from water before re-entering into fish tanks.

Name of the project: Intensive Pond Aquaculture Technology (IPAT)
I. Introduction:
Intensive Pond Aquaculture Technology (IPAT) is a new and unique way to farm fish.
Instead of the traditional method of growing fish outdoors in open ponds, this system rears
fish at high densities, in indoor tanks with a "controlled" environment. Integrated Pond
Aquaculture Technology (IPAT) is just developing raceway structures within the pond
system and creating river-flow within the system using only air. Using air blowers at the
inlet end, water is airlifted and taken through the raceway and subsequently to the pond.
The technology is based upon continually flowing water pushed around the pond by air-
lifts.
II. Background
 Learning’s from Nature are implemented to sustain theNature.
• Water flow used in an efficient manner.
• Usage of single component to fulfill four objectives, “Airblowing”

1.To enhance DO level, 2. Create water current, 3. Water Exchange
100% every 10 Minute), 4. Feces removal fromthe culture System.
III. Objectives:
 8 times more production than ponds from unit area.

 Near zero effluent emission.
 Efficient utilization of Nutrients.
 Less water management cost.
 Utilization of water resources in a sustainable way.
 Less manpower requirement.
 Less possibility of disease occurrence. Inexpensivetreatments.
 Protection from predators
 Better feed utilization
 Reduced land needs due to the high stocking density
 Site selection flexibility and independence from a large, clean water source.
 High output fish from minimal area with fish density ranging upto 50-150 kg/m3
under perfect condition
D. In the state of Telangana, the permission must be obtained well in advance for
setting up of the IPAT from District Fisheries Officer concerned for promotion of
culture of indigenous species and permitted exotic species in a controlled
56
environment.
E. The Fisheries Department has a District Fisheries Officer in every district supported
by the field staff are capable of implementing the project. The trainings will be
imparted and exposure visits will be conducted before grounding of the projects. The
funds received from the Government of India and State Government released to the
districts from where the proposals are received and the operational guidelines are
given for implementation of the project as per guidelines. The sanction and release of
subsidy is back-end i.e., after completion of the project. The measurements of the
civil works will be done by the engineering department as nominated by the District
Collector and with the approval of the District Collectors, the eligible subsidy will be
released to the beneficiary.
The selected sites are not prone to floods and have adequate water availability.
Only indigenous and permitted exotic fish species will be allowed for culture. The
risk of diseases is also remote because of scattered nature of ponds and import of
good quality fish seed coupled with adoption of good management practices.
Details of Capital and operational cost:
Major components of IPAT are:

• White Water Units- 4-5 units per Hectare (2 Meter waterdepth)
• Raceway Cells- 2-3 per Hectare (2 Meter water depth)
• Quiescent Zone (QZ) – Last 3 Meters of the Raceway
• Baffle Wall- One required per pond

Name of the Project: Establishment of Ice Plants
L. Introduction:
The Telangana state is bestowed with vast fishery potential resources like., 74 reservoirs
having water spread area of 1.77 Lakh Ha, 23800 tanks having water spread area of 4.16
Lakh Ha., and 474 ponds having water spread area of 781 Ha., In addition to this 5573 Kms
of rivers and canals.
The Government of Telangana is focusing on increasing the productivity of reservoirs by taking free
stocking of fish fingerlings of 80-100 mm size in reservoirs. In these large reservoirs regular fishing
is done and the fishermen are issued licenses for conducting fishing on nominal prices. It is also
propose to encourage cage culture in the reservoirs.
II. Background:
It is observed that every year 10-15% of fish produced is being spoiled due to lack of
availability of ice as fish is perishable commodity and needs to be kept in ice as soon as it is
removes from the water otherwise it is spoiled and not useful for consumption. Ultimately
the fishers have to lose the income. It is very essential to check the loss by establishing the
ice plants where ever feasible.
III. Aims and Objectives:
 To preserve the fishes and prevent the post harvest losses of fishes
 To provide quality of fish to the consumers by chilling process.
 To increase the export of fish from one state to other state
 To fetch remunerative price to fishermen
 To get the fish on reasonable price to consumer
IV. Feasibility Study:

The Govt of Telangana has taken up the stocking of fish seed in all the water bodies in
Telangana state, during the current year 2017-18, has taken up stocking of 5001.00 Lakh
fish fingerlings in all the water bodies and the anticipated fish production is 2.70 Lakh tons
during the year 2017-18 and it is expected that the fish proudtion in 2019-19 will cross 3.00
Lakh tons. Before transportation of fish to market the fish produced has to be preserved
properly in ice to avoid spoilage. Therefore it is felt necessary to establish (15) ice plant (
10 tonnes ) capacity in all the districts of Telangana state.
62
 The District Fisheries officer will select the interested beneficiaries and submit the same to
the District Collector of concerned district for getting approval
 After getting the approval from the District Collector the beneficiary will start the
construction of the ice plant and also procure the other equipment for establishing the ice
plant after completion of the installation the District Fisheries officer will inspect the plant
and release the subsidy portion of the Ice plant
 The management of the Ice plant is done by the Beneficiary and the beneficiary will sell the
ice to the fishermen and also fish traders who are interested to transport the fishes
VI, Risk Analysis:
The Risk analysis are minimal as there are less number of ice plants in the Telangana state
and there is vast demand of ice in the state as the fish production is increased due to various
irrigation schemes in the state.
VII. Funding:
The unit cost for construction of Ice plant with all basic amenities is Rs. 25.00 lakh. Out
of which 40% subsidy from Government of India and State Government and 60% will be
bank loan/ Beneficiary contribution. The cost of construction of civil structures will be
borne by the beneficiary. The total outlay for Establishment of 30 Ice plants is Rs. 750.00
Lakh and Rs. 300.00 Lakh is subsidy from Central and State Government and 60%will the
beneficiary contribution or loan from Bank.
.
VIII. Time Frame:
The time duration of the programme is one year and the District Fisheries officers will
implement the scheme.
63
IX. Cost Benefits Analysis:
The Beneficiary sell the ice to the fishermen and the fishermen will be able to sell the fish in
a good qualitative manner and thus the beneficiary and the fishermen will get income.

Name of the Project: Establishment of Large formulated pellet feed plant
1. Introduction:
The Government of Telangana is focusing on increasing the productivity of reservoirs by

taking free stocking of fish fingerlings of 80-100 mm size in reservoirs. In these large
reservoirs regular fishing is done and the fishermen are issued licenses for conducting
fishing on nominal prices. Further the Govt. have taken up a big programme to take up (67)
units of cage culture in the reservoirs of Telangana State during the year 2016-17 and 330
cages have already been established. There are further proposals for establishment of about
30 cages during the ear 2018-19. The Govt. of Telangana is also taking up semi intensive
culture in small tanks. For all the cages and intensive fish culture units pellteed feed is
required to feed the fishes. Therefore, the Establishment of Establishment of Large
formulated pellet feed plant of a minimum capacity at 6 to 10 Tons/hour) is felt necessary
to provide quality feed which is a basic requirement of fish growers in cages.
III. Background:
The Gov. of Telangana aims at the make the fish available around the year. In this regard
the Government of Telangana is taking up construction of 400 ha of new ponds and 400 ha.
rearing ponds under Blue Revolution and Integrated Development of Fisheries Scheme. For
culture of fish in all the fish ponds pelted feed is very much required.
Optimal utilization of natural resources for fish production, promotes freshwater
aquaculture, supported by infrastructure and trained manpower.
IV. Objectives:
 To enhance production of formulated pelleted fish feed to meet the demand

 To promote use of formulated pellet fish feed among the fish farmers to enhance
greater fish yield in shorter span of time
 To make fish feed available to the farmers at reasonable cost at required time
 To enhance fish production
 To create 10 Tons Per Day Fish Feed Mill (both Floating & sinking Pellets) in
Telangana
67
V. Feasibility Study.
The Govt of Telangana has taken up the Cage culture in Reservoirs as a flagship
programme in which Pangasius fish is cultured and there are few aqua culture ponds
culturing the Indian major carps and Pangasius for these aqua culture systems the
formulated pelleted feed is essentially required throughout the culture period to get
better yield.
 The demand of nutritionally balanced feed has been rising continuously in our country.
The development of dry pelleted fish feeds aims at improving digestibility and refining
the balance of nutrients to match the needs of the different species of fish more
precisely at different periods of development.
 The other objective is to improve the sustainability of the ingredients used. Formulated
pelleted feed also has the advantage of balance nutrition, avoid wastage, higher
conversion rate and thereby higher yield as the feed can be designed based on target
culture species requirement. Hence, recently pelleted feed making machines were
established in some part of the country.
 The District Fisheries officer will select the interested beneficiaries and submit the same
to the District Collector of concerned district for getting approval
 After getting the approval from the District Collector the beneficiary will start the
construction of the ice plant and also procure the other equipment for establishing the ice
plant after completion of the installation the District Fisheries officer will inspect the
plant and release the subsidy portion of the Ice plant
 The management of the Ice plant is done by the Beneficiary and the beneficiary will sell
the ice to the fishermen and also fish traders who are interested to transport the fishes

Name of the Project: Mobile/Retail fish outlets
1. Introduction
Fisheries is one of the fast growing sectors generating income and employment. The sector
aims at exploitation of all possible resources under capture and culture fisheries for
increasing fish production and productivity through sustainable development. The sector is
contributing considerably for, food security, nutrition and health, lively hood security to
rural population, and welfare of fishers. Fish production comes mainly from Capture
Fisheries i.e., production from reservoirs and tanks.
II. Background:
The per capita fish consumption of India is 14.5 Kg but in Telangana, the per capita fish
consumption is very low. The main reason for low per capita fish consumption is lack of
availability of in hygienic condition. The retail outlets are the most important link in the
entire domestic marketing system. It is only through retail markets and the fish is traded to
the outlets to reach the actual consumer. Here in the retail market system, the fish and
fishery products are exchanged in relatively small quantities through a number of
transactions. Another important aspect is that the trading is between the seller and the
buyer and the fish is transported to nearby locations and markets. The main drawback of the
retail market is that the fish reaches for distribution in poor quality due to handling, storage
and transportation problems. A chain of cold storages have to be provided right from the
primary producer to the consumer in the system, at different locations to control the
spoilage.
III. Aims and Objectives:
 To increase domestic fish consumption.

 Increase the per capita consumption of fish
 To ensure access of the poor to nutritious food
 Supply fish to consumers in hygienic and fresh condition
 To meet the diverse needs of consumer.
 Upgrade the livelihood standards of Vendors.
IV. Feasibility Study
There are 74 Reservoirs with water spread area of 1.77 Lakh Ha and 4324 Departmental tanks with
water spread area of 2.62 Lakh Ha and 19476 Gram panchyat tanks with water spread area of 1.54
Lakh Ha in which fish culture is being taken up and expecting fish production of 3.40 Lakh tones.
The Govt. of Telangana has taken up stocking of fish fingerlings on 100% grant in the water
bodies. Due to fish seed stocking programme the water bodies are stocked with adequate quantity of
73
fish seed. It is anticipated to have maximum production of fish during the year 2017-18. It is
necessary to provide marketing to the fishermen so as to enable them to sell the produce within the
District and provide nutritional food to the people of Telangana on affordable price.
Under the project it is propose for Setting up of 100 units of Mobile/Fish Retail Outlets (Kiosks)
with a unit cost of Rs. 10.00 Lakhs.
Organization and Management of Project
The Fisheries Department has a District Fisheries Officer in every district supported by the
field staff and are capable of implementing the project. The trainings will be imparted and
exposure visits will be conducted before grounding of the projects. The funds received from
the Government of India are released to the districts from where the proposals are received
and the operational guidelines are given for implementation of the project. The sanction and
release of subsidy is back-end i.e., after completion of the project. The measurements of the
fish ponds will be done by the engineering department as nominated by the District
Collector and with the approval of the District Collectors, the eligible subsidy will be
released to the beneficiary.

contributing considerably for, food security, nutrition and health, lively hood security to
rural population, and welfare of fishers. Fish production comes mainly from Capture
Fisheries i.e., production from reservoirs and tanks.
II. Background:
The fish produced in the country, both from marine and inland sectors, is marketed
domestically through a network of wholesale, major, minor retail, roadside markets, etc. The
majority of domestic markets are unhygienic and the fish storing and handling facilities are
poor.
The establishment of markets plays a very crucial role in the development of fisheries sector
in the country. Apart from minimizing post-harvest losses, it helps in increasing revenue,
enhancing employment opportunities and offers high standards of hygiene and sanitation
leading to food safety. About 70% of the fish catch is marketed fresh and the remaining is
utilized in the form of processed, dried, smoked, reduced to fishmeal, etc. As per the
available data, a majority of the total population consumes fish in the country with an
average per capita consumption of 9 kg/year. However, the harvested fish is not evenly
distributed to interior areas due to lack of transportation and non-availability of proper
storage facilities. Therefore, there is a need for balanced system of distribution to make fish
available in the interior areas at reasonable rates.
The per capita fish consumption of India is 14.5 Kg but in Telangana, the per capita fish
consumption is very low. The main reason for low per capita fish consumption is lack of
availability of hygienic fish in fish markets. Further, the post harvest losses in the fish
markets is to a tune of 20-30%. The fish markets are not developed hygienically. The
infrastructure facilities like supply of water, drinking water, provision of electric supply,
waste disposal mechanism etc in fish markets is very poor. There is no diversification of fish
due to lack of demand. The diversified needs of consumers is not attended. Due to lack of
proper markets the fishermen are forced to sell the fishes on the Road side and the
78
consumers are showing reluctance to buy the fishes. The fishermen are thus not getting the
remunerative prices.
Aims and Objectives:
 Facilitate the fish vending in hygienic conditions in domestic fish market.

 Increase the per capita consumption
 To meet the diverse needs of consumer.
 Upgrade the livelihood standards of Vendors.
Feasibility Study:
There are 74 Reservoirs with water spread area of 1.77 Lakh Ha and 4324 Departmental tanks with
water spread area of 2.62 Lakh Ha and 19476 Gram panchyat tanks with water spread area of 1.54
Lakh Ha in which fish culture is being taken up and expecting fish production of 3.4 Lakh tones.
Due to lack of proper marketing facilities the fishermen are compelled to sell the fishes to the
middlemen with lower price and the fishermen cannot improve their financial condition. The
hygienic conditions of fish markets should be improved tremendously not only to attract consumers
to the markets but also to instill confidence among buyers to consume fish, which is regarded as a
healthy food among animal products. Therefore, the construction of Modern Fish markets with basic
amenities for selling of fish in Hygienic condition and to attract consumers the construction of
Modern Fish Markets is felt needed.
The Govt. of Telangana has taken up stocking of fish fingerlings on 100% grant in the water
bodies. Due to fish seed stocking programme the water bodies are stocked with adequate quantity of
fish seed. It is anticipated to have maximum production of fish during the year 2017-18. It is
necessary to provide marketing to the fishermen so as to enable them to sell the produce within the
District and provide nutritional food to the people of Telangana on affordable price. Under the
project it is propose to construct (10) Modern Fish Markets each with a unit cost of Rs. 200.00
Lakh.

Target beneficiaries :
The facility will be constructed and built up by the Engineering wings nominated by the
concerned District Collector. The funding will be under Blue Revolution Scheme. The users
of the market will be the fish vendors. The Consumers will benefitted from the availability
of quality hygienic fish.
Management:
The concerned local bodies will be providing the facility of land. The Government executive
agencies as decided by the concerned authority will be constructing the markets. The fish
markets will be managed by fish market managing committee which will consists of
stakeholders, officers from local bodies and fisheries department officials. The fisheries
officials will be providing the extension services. The sanitation aspect will be taken care by
concerned Municipality. The day to day cleaning of fish market will be done by out sourced
persons to clean the premises.
Funding
The Unit cost of the fish market is Rs.200.00 lakhs in which all the civil structures like
elevated plat forms, walls , compound walls and water facilities will be constructed. The
total outlay for construction of (5) Modern Fish Markets is Rs.1000.00 Lakh. The total cost
of construction will be sanctioned under Blue Revolution: Integrated Development and
Management of fisheries. The Central Government share will be 50% and the State
Government will borne 50% of the total cost.
Components of Fish markets:
 Elevated platforms for keeping the fresh fish
 Water facility with bore and over head tank
 Facilities for cleaning the market
 Drainage facility for letting out the waste water
 Compound wall and gate
 Electricity connection
 The markets are to be provided with sufficient place for selling of fish
 Should be near to the consumer
 The market should have proper storage facilities for fishes
 Resting room and toilet facilities
80
Time Frame:
Cost benefit Analysis :

In this regard it is to submit that the fish market constructed will be constructed by the
department and the fish markets will be handed over to the concerned Gram Panchayat/
Municipality and the same will be regularly maintained by collecting the user charges and
the petty repairs will be attended by the department. Since the structure comes under
Government Infrastructure activity, The initial cost or the sanctioned amount will be capital
outlay for the project. Since the facility is used by number of stakeholders, the cost benefit
analysis parameter cannot be taken into account as the Government is taking a initiative to
built up infrastructure facility.
Risk Analysis
There is no risk involved in the construction of fish markets. Since the land belongs to local
body, there is no title dispute for the land, no legal risks. The project can be easily
manageable, there are no revenue risks and regulatory risks. Waste disposal mechanism is
taken care of.
Outcome:
 Availability of quality fish to consumers
 Reduction in post harvest losses
 These markets will be the ” Model fish markets” and creation of this his facility is
essential to achieve the double digit growth in fisheries sector
 The fishermen income increases by selling the fish to the consumers in hygienic
manner and thus the exploitation of fishermen by middlemen will be reduced
considerably.
