Carp Hatchery

1) The document discusses methods for inducing breeding of common carp species through hormone injection or hypophysation. This involves collecting pituitary glands from ripe fish and injecting an extract to stimulate breeding. 2) It describes the setup and components of two systems for hatching and incubating the eggs - a glass jar hatchery consisting of water supply, breeding tanks, glass jar incubators, and hatchery; and a Chinese circular hatchery with overhead tanks, spawning, incubation, and receiving tanks laid out in a circular design. 3) Newly hatched fry are then transferred to earthen ponds at a fish farm and reared until they reach the fry stage.

ASSIGNMENT ON

CARP HATCHERY

INTRODUCTION

The commonly cultivated six species - Catla


(Catla catla) Rohu (Labeo rohita), Mrigal
(Cirrhinus mrigala) Silver carp
(Hypothalmichthys molitrix), Grass carp
(Ctenopharyngodon idella) and Common carp
(Cyprinus carpio) are considered to be the
best cultivable species of fishes in the inland
water system. These fishes originally belong
to riverine environment and when cultured in
standing water bodies such as ponds and
tanks, they attain maturity but normally do
not breed under confined conditions. Special
attempts are therefore made to breed them
by artificially creating riverine conditions and

The technique of breeding fish by other


than its natural course is known as
INDUCED BREEDING. Induced breeding
techniques has been developed for
production of quality fish seed of
cultivable varieties. It is one of the most
dependable methods of producing pure
seed of desired species of fish. Further this
technique has helped to produce fish seed
in those areas where natural collection of
fish seed was not possible.

METHOD OF INDUCED BREEDING:


HYPOPHYSATION
The technique of breeding the fish by
administering pituitary gland extract
injection is known as induced breeding or
hypophysation. The pituitary gland secretes
several hormones of which Gonadotropin is
the most important for breeding.
The increasing demand of fish pituitaries
have now been solved to some extent by
the introduction of HCG, now readily
available in the market. The HCG is now
increasingly becoming popular due to its
low cost. A mixture of HCG and pituitary
hormone extract in definite proportion are
employed successfully for breeding fish.

COLLECTION OF PITUITARY
GLAND:

Glands are collected from ripe fish by


removing the upper part of the skull (scalp)
by a sharp knife or a bone cutter. After
removing the scalp, the brain is exposed
which is then cut from the posterior end and
lifted up anteriorly. As soon as the brain is
lifted the gland can be seen located in the
cavity covered by a thin membrane. It is
carefully picked up with the help of tweezers
and kept immersed in a cavity block or a
Petri dish in absolute alcohol under cover.

BREEDING TECHNIQUES:

After selection of brood fishes from the


segregated brooder ponds they are kept in
the hapas at fish farms or in fish seed
hatcheries for about 6-7 hours for
conditioning. After proper conditioning the
individual brood fish is weighed in a hand
net using a spring balance. The breeders
are then ready to receive injection.

BREEDING ENVIRONMENT :

Success of spawning by hypophysation


depends on the hydrological and climatic
conditions. Temperature is one of the most
important factors. It has been observed
that 25 0 -28 0 C is most conducive for
breeding. However, spawning could be
induced at or below this temperature
range. The percentage of fertilization and
hatching under uncontrolled conditions is
not very satisfactory. Circulation of fresh
water containing 5-9 mg/liters of oxygen
promotes better success in spawning,
higher fertilization of eggs and higher
recovery of hatchlings from fertilized eggs.

SPAWNING AND
HATCHING:

1.Glass Jar Hatchery

THE GLASS JAR HATCHERY COMPLEX IS A SELF


CONTAINED UNIT , CONSISTS OF.
1. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

In order to supply water to the hatchery unit


an over-head tank connected with the G.I.
Pipe line with a water capacity of 5500 lit.
The height of the OHT is 4mt. From the
ground level for supplying water through
gravity to hatchery unit.

2. BREEDING TANK

A breeding tank of 2.0 X 1.0 X 1.o m in


dimensions provided with shower and outlet
to drain excess water. The no. of breeding
tanks depends on target seed production.

3. GLASS JAR INCUBATORS


The incubators are made of good quality
transparent glass and jars is set up vertically
on the wooden table.
The jars are conical in shape being open at
the top and gradually tapering towards the
bottom.
The capacity of each jars is 6.35 lit.
Top of the jar is fitted with a G.I. rings having
a beak which serve as an outlet for water
coming out from the jars.
At end jars connected with rubber tubing's.

4. THE SPAWNERY
The spawnery is a hapa of synthetic
materials which is fitted on a frame placed
inside a cement cistan.
An Over head shower is provided from the
above to spray water over the developing
hatching in the hapa.
A cement cistan of the size 1.8 X 0.9 X 0.9 m
which can accommodate about 10 lacs of
spawn for 3 days..

2. CHINESE CIRCULAR
HATCHERY

CHINESE HATCHERY :It is also known as Eco-Hatchery or Circular


Hatchery.
The hatchery complex consists of an
1. Over head tank,
2. Spawning tank,
3. Incubation tank &
4. Spawn receiving tank.
