Company Profile:

Fishery, both inland and marine, is the main source of livelihood for a large section of economically backward population in the country. Of late, it has become a powerful income and employment generator, thanks to the availability of technologies for using available water bodies. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) of Indian Institute of Spices Research, a constituent body of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is giving training to rural youth in fishing fortune from the natural depositaries in water.

With a little care, proper planning and a strong determination for success coupled with timely technical advice can bring amazing results in aquaculture. Meet Mr. Manoj KK from Atholi in Kozhikode district of Kerala. Manoj’s backyard freshwater prawn hatchery unit is a model for many to emulate. It was 15 years back he began to ponder on exploiting the potential of fish wealth in his five acre pond.

"I started with tiger shrimp farming near my house. But changes in climatic conditions and emergence of white spot disease were the major setbacks,” says Mr. Manoj. This prompted Manoj to look into the potentials of brackish water fish culture. Brackish water breeds like Pearl Spot, Mullet and others were abundant in the lake. But, lack of scientific aquaculture practices often affected the productivity. So he approached the scientists at Peruvannamuzhi Krishi Vigyan Kendra for their help.
