Shibe Delta SHG has achieved notable success in brooder management and fry production. Recent monitoring data indicates exceptional progress in both general pond operations and specialized breeding programs, highlighting the hatchery’s commitment to sustainable aquaculture practices.

Brooder Management

The facility’s brood stock management strategy has yielded impressive results, evidenced by the superior quality and quantity of fingerling production. Our comprehensive feeding protocol and water quality management have contributed significantly to the brooders’ optimal health status. This success underscores the importance of proper nutrition and environmental control in commercial aquaculture operations.

Fry Sorting

A major milestone has been achieved with the successful transfer of approximately 2,000 fry from the general pond system to specialized raceway facilities. This comes after an initial sorting yielded close to 5,000 frys. This strategic relocation enables:

– Enhanced growth monitoring
– Improved feed conversion efficiency
– Better disease prevention
– Optimal water quality control
– More accurate mortality rate tracking

The transfer to raceways represents a critical phase in our production cycle, allowing for more intensive management and controlled growth conditions.

Catfish Breeding Plans

In preparation for the third propagation attempt, a sophisticated breeding protocol has been implemented for catfish production. Key measures include:

1. Gender segregation of brood stock
2. Individual pond allocation for different sexes
3. Continuous monitoring of reproductive readiness
4. Implementation of controlled environmental parameters

This methodical approach to catfish breeding demonstrates the hatchery’s scientific rigor in aquaculture production. The separation of male and female brooders allows for:

– Better control of breeding timing
– Enhanced genetic management
– Improved spawning success rates
– More efficient resource utilization
