Abstract

It has long been recognized that a good source of juveniles is the most important prerequisite for fish farming. Non availability of the seed for stocking in quantity and quality at the right time, will affect the production plans. Most of the worlds fish aquaculture still depend on the fry almost comes exclusively from wild. Seed supply from the wild is often unpredictable and seasonal. Hatchery production of seeds of economically important finfish ensures a steady supply of quality seeds for aquaculture operations. The successful hatchery production of marine fin fishes, depends on various factors like proper maintenance of broodstock, efficient live feed production systems, larval rearing protocols including water quality management, feed management and nursery rearing systems.
