‘MATSYA SAMRUDHI’

(a mission towards blue revolution through aquaculture development with the co-

operation of Local Self Governments and people participation)

1. Introduction

In this era, the world is facing increasing demands for food supply, and

has a need for higher quality food and nutritional resources, in which aquatic

products form an important component (UNDP 1994; FAO, 2010). After

significant growth in the earlier few decades, the world's capture fisheries are

becoming increasingly limited by physical and biological capacity, by

deteriorating environments, and by resource costs of excessive levels of

exploitation (over fishing in some parts of the world). The total world capture

fisheries production has stayed around 90 million tons over the last decade,

estimated by FAO as 92 million tons for 2004 and 90.1 million tons for 2009.

Because of the limitation in capture fisheries production, aquaculture has

been considered as the sole source of growth supply in the fisheries sector

since the 1990s, raising hopes that growth of aquaculture may ease pressure

on the threatened wild stock and increase food supply to cope with the

increasing demands.

Fish and other living aquatic resources of inland water ecosystems

provide important services that are seriously undervalued. Fishes are rich in

protein, vitamins and mineral salts and are also known as valuable protective

food. Fish forms an important item of the diet and employment and leads to

people especially in crowded coastal areas such as Kerala. The development of

fisheries and aquaculture which ensure food and nutritional security and

serves also as base for several new avenues in industry is therefore, one of the


7

most promising sector in socio-economic development especially of the real

communities and in overall development programmes.

Capture fisheries and aquaculture supplied the world with about 142

million tonnes of fish in 2008. Of this, 115 million tonnes was used as human

food, providing an estimated apparent per capita supply of about 17 kg (live

weight equivalent), which is an all-time high. Aquaculture accounted for 37%

of total fish production and 46 percent of total food fish supply; growth in

supply from aquaculture has offset a small decline in capture fishery

production and a rising population (FAO, 2010). Inland fisheries and

aquaculture contribute about 25% to the world’s production of fish. In

addition, many important estuarine and coastal fisheries are strongly linked to

the ecological processes that occur in freshwater systems. The value of

freshwater production to human nutrition and incomes is much greater than

gross national production figures suggest.

Kerala is well endowed with abundant inland water resources – natural

and manmade. It is the top producer of marine fish but the inland fish

production from the extensive network of backwaters, rivers, and reservoirs is

seen low. Though the yield through aquaculture and open water fisheries is

presently low there is considerable scope for further development involving

diversification of various species and culture systems in inland and coastal

waters. The potential of Kerala in increasing aquaculture production lies

greatly in developing cage culture and other suitable systems of culture in

inland open water bodies, and also along the coast. Integrated fish farming

could also lead to more profitable and sustainable aquaculture systems. With

concerted efforts to mobilize farmers to adopt fish farming, application

of appropriate technologies for sustainable fish farming and fish seed

production and availability of institutional finance, it would be possible to

bring in substantial hikes in the annual inland fish production from the

aquaculture sector within a span of 3 years. Tremendous untapped potential

exists in Kerala to augment fish production from inland water aquaculture

resources, which are spread across the length and breadth of the State can

contribute considerably to improve the livelihoods as also to the empowerment


8

of rural people. The future development of aquaculture depends on the

adoption of new and innovative production technologies, management and

utilization of less utilized water resources and proper market tie-ups.

With better inputs in terms of seeds, feed and fertilizers, it may be

possible to bring more and more inland water areas under the fold of

aquaculture, in a span of 5-6 years. Availability of quality fish seed and

capacity augmentation of farmers to take up scientific methods of fish farming

and modern and efficient means of cold chain to market fish in safe and

hygienic conditions makes a brighter future to aquaculture.

In spite of the abundance of water resources and recent successful

efforts in the State (see below) there seems to be appreciation of the role of

aquaculture especially in rural development in the State. This is done in

consideration of the broad objective of augmenting inland fish production from

the present level of 1.50 lakh metric tons to 3.00 lakh tons in 3 years by

increasing production and productivity from the water bodies of the State, and

by their more effective utilization for diversified aquaculture and fishery

enhancement.

2. Present Status

A drastic improvement was seen in the inland fish production of the

State through the implementation of Matsya Keralam project. Matsya Keralam

was an integrated project, ensuring the support of Local Self Governments and

implemented in 14 districts. The Project envisaged diversifying aquaculture for

enhancing the then fish production of 75,000 tons to 200,000 tons over a

period of 3 years. Through the implementation of the project and its wide

acceptation by Local bodies and farmers, the inland fish production of the

State nearing the mile stone and the present production is 121215 tons

(Annexure-I). The last phase of Matsya Keralam is going to end by March 2012.

Under the fold of Matsya Keralam project, in 773 Local bodies

aquaculture activities were carried out through 505 newly formulated Fish

Farmers Clubs. 450 Aquaculture Co-ordinators were selected to co-ordinate

the aquaculture activities in the above Local bodies. 30,600 farmers benefited


9

through this venture (Annexure– II). Functioning of Fish Farmers Club

facilitated aquaculture promotion and improved management practices,

information exchange, timely supplies of quality inputs, crop insurance

coverage and product sale. Priority attention has given for capacity building of

the farmers to improve local management of aquaculture.

Properly planned activities with continuous monitoring helped better

implementation and realization of the objectives. An area of about 5000 ha

brackish water and about 5500 ha fresh water area were developed through

Matsya Keralam project. The outcome of the project is much promising as it

visualizes by enhancing the inland fish production to the level of 150000 tons

by the end of June 2011 (Annexure –III).

3. Potential available

The inland water bodies of Kerala have a prominent role in the socio-

economic development of the state. The state is gifted with a significant wealth

of inland fishery resources. The inland water resources of State are surveyed

and published in the Panchayat level fishery resource survey book (PANFISH

2011). That provides valuable data on the status of the fishery importance of

the State. The existing fresh water resources of the State includes 46,300

small ponds of about 25,000 Ha, 852 bunds of more than 2800 Ha, 9 Lakes of

1,620 Ha, 44 rivers of 85,000 Ha, 53 reservoirs of 4,489 Ha, 80 check dams of

259 Ha and several other small water bodies (Annexures IV, V & VI). The

brackish water resources of the State comprises of backwaters extending to

more than 65,200 Ha, 53 brackish water lakes of more than 46,000 Ha,

12,500 ha of Pokkali fields distributed in Ernakulam, Thrissur, Alappuzha and

Kannur districts which are traditionally used for prawn filtration during saline

season, 17,000 ha of kole lands distributed in Thrissur and Malappuram

districts, 35,000 hectares of padasekharams distributed in Alappuzha,

Kottayam and Pathanamthitta districts in Kuttanad area, which can be used

for alternate farming of paddy and fish/ prawn nearly and another estimated

120,000 ha of paddy fields in Palakkad District, suitable for aquaculture and

many other water storage facilities easily adaptable for integrated farming –


10

Agri/aqua/animal husbandry integration are very ideal for aquaculture

development activities.

4. Scope for future development

There is a great need for increasing production through aquaculture to

meet the needs of food and nutritional security caused by the limitations of

land based food production systems in meeting the increasing demands of the

people. The State is well endowed with adequate water resources, as indicated

above, manpower and primary facilities to meet these requirements. Food

Safety is a growing concern across the world. There is an increasing need to

provide greater assurance about the safety and quality of food to consumers.

Accordingly the State Food Security Project has been approved as per G.O.

(P)No.30/2008/plg dated 07.07.08 in the State. Aquaculture is currently one of

the fastest growing food production enterprises in the country as elsewhere

globally. In view of the stagnating yields from capture fisheries and increasing

demand for fish and fisheries products, aquaculture is poised to increase fish

production and will continue to strengthen its role in ensuring food security

and poverty alleviation. It is well recognized that diversification of farming and

farming practices have important role in sustainable development of

aquaculture.

The performance of Matsya Keralam has demonstrated a broad level of

awareness about the scope of aquaculture in the State among fish farmers;

Local Bodies and other concerned for better management practices and

diversified aquaculture. More and more farmers came forward to join as

members of Fish Farmers Clubs and carried out aquaculture in a remarkable

way. Suitable area available for future development of aquaculture is more and

more. At present the State utilized only about 15% of the total available water

bodies for aquaculture.

Fourteen Fish Farmers Development Agencies are functioning under

Fisheries Department and their main activities are developing inland

aquaculture both in brackish water and fresh water area. Government of

Kerala provides � 400 lakh in the budget every year under centrally sponsored


11

scheme (75:25) for the development of aquaculture through these FFDAs.

There are five inland fish seed production centres and two brackish water

shrimp seed production centres working under the direct control of Fisheries

Department. Besides, Matsyafed and ADAK have major hatcheries and a good

number of Fish Seed Rearing Units are maintained by fish Farmers themselves

in the State. Hence, the availability of good and quality assured fish/ scampi/

shrimp seed for aquaculture is not a big hazard. About 100 numbers of pearl

spot seed (Karimeen) rearing units are also functioning under Karimeen

Varsham Project in Kerala.

ADAK owns four PCR testing Laboratories (The polymerase chain

reaction (PCR) is a scientific technique in molecular biology to amplify a single

or a few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude,

generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence) and

distributes seed to farmers after testing them in these labs to ensure disease

free seed. For identifying culture problems including shrimp diseases and also

to take urgent mitigation measures, the Government of Kerala accorded

sanction and accordingly constituted a Technical Committee (Disease

Monitoring and Surveillance Committee) (Annexure-VII). Insurance Companies

are now willing to give insurance coverage to shrimp farming.

5.6. Description of each scheme

5.6.1. Fresh water fish culture in ponds and tanks.

Freshwater aquaculture is currently one of the fastest growing food

production enterprises in the country. In view of the stagnating yields from

capture fisheries and increasing demand for fish and fishery products,

aquaculture is poised to increase fish production and will continue to

strengthen its role in ensuring food security and poverty alleviation.


18

Aquaculture is more akin to agro farming and animal husbandry than to

fishing, as it involves the rearing and management of living aquatic resources

in a restricted environment

There are numerous numbers of ponds and tanks under private, public

and Local Bodies ownership. Almost all of these ponds are suitable for fish

culture. Owners of private ponds, public ponds, tanks, those who willing to

take up ponds and tanks on lease for a period of minimum 3 years, are the

prospective beneficiaries of the scheme. SHGs, Groups can also benefit.

Culture of suitable combinations of freshwater carps and scampi in the form of

‘composite fish culture’ is proved ideal for the economic utilisation of these

water bodies. 6000 Ha area is proposed to develop under the project “Matsya

Samrudhi”.

5.6.2. Fish/prawn culture in padasekharams, Kole land/Kuttanadu

(Integrated fish farming).

Unlike the non-endemic carps, the freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium

rosenbergii) is a native of the rivers of central Kerala and is one of the most

suitable species for culture in padasekharams along with carps. The

padasekharams are low lying paddy fields where paddy is cultivated for a

period of 4 months in year and kept idle during the remaining 8 months. Steps

should be taken to promote paddy cum fish/prawn culture by suitably

modifying the paddy fields wherever possible. Alternate or concurrent culture

of rice and fish/prawn would serve to increase the income of farmers while

reducing the cost of production. The use of fertilizers and pesticides could be

minimized by this integrated system of crop management (Annexure- VIII).

The State has rich resources of the wetlands, which remain fallow during

major parts of the year. Out of these, 13632 ha of Kole lands (10185 ha in

Thrissur District and 3447 ha in Malappuram District) and 35000 ha of Kari

lands in Kuttanad are found suitable for scampi farming.

One of the inherent advantages of freshwater prawn farming is that it

would not cause salinisation problem (which seems to be the most serious

objection to marine shrimp farming) at the culture sites. Harmonious


19

integration with other activities like agriculture can be achieved more easily

through adoption of prawn farming than marine shrimp. This also suggests

that environmental and social conflicts, which arise from interactions with the

other sectoral activities, are less likely in prawn farming and hence the culture

system would be more sustainable. 3000 Ha area is proposed to develop under

this project (Annexure- IX).

5.6.3. Shrimp Farming in Pokkali/Kaipadu fields / and in private ponds.

At national level, Kerala enjoys the 4th position in aquaculture

production of shrimps. The State has extensive Pokkali fields where shrimp

farming is being carried out during the saline season. Pokkali fields are

available in Ernakulam, Thrissur, Alappuzha and Kozhikkode districts. In our

coastal belt, availability of brackish water area suitable for shrimp culture is

plenty. Extensive type of shrimp farming will be promoted in all these areas

following the guidelines of Aquaculture Authority of India. P.monodon is the

most popular and demanded candidate species of culture. The scope of the

scheme will be extended to all potential districts in Kerala. 3000 Ha area is

proposed to develop under this project (Annexure-X).

5.6.4. Mussel farming.

Kerala is the foremost state in mussel farming and has greater scope for

future development. The farming of Green mussel (Perna viridis) will be

promoted in northern area and that of Brown mussel (Perna indica) in

Southern area of the State by organizing SHGs of fisherwomen. The technology

for mussel farming is developed by CMFRI. Mussel meat will be used for the

preparation of value added fish products. Mussel farming is accepted as an

alternative avocation generating income and employment to women groups in

Kerala. 3000 mussel farming units are envisaged in this project (Annexure-XI).

5.6.5. Crab fattening /culture

It is well recognized that diversification of farming and farming practices

has an important role in sustainable development of brackish water

aquaculture. Considerable interest has been seen in crab culture since crabs

find place as an export commodity among sea food items. Crabs enjoy high


20

demand and price in the export market. The two species of crabs Scylla

serrata and Scylla tranquebarica are ideal for aquaculture in the coastal areas.

Crabs will be cultured in two ways. In Crab fattening, wild caught crabs of

larger size (8-12cm) will be reared for a period of 20 to 30 days and harvested

when they are full of meat. In crab farming the crab lings will be either

collected from the wild or procured from hatchery and will be stocked in

specially prepared ponds and reared for 5 to 6 months, till they attain

marketable size. 150 crab fattening/ culture units are envisaged in this project

(Annexure-XII,XIII).

5.6.6. Pearl spot seed rearing & Sales units (PSRU).

The adult Pearl Spot fishes will be stocked in ponds after the pond

preparation. Female and male of average weight of 100-150 gms will be stocked

at a stocking rates of 1:1 and stocking density of 1:2 m2. Stocked fishes are fed

with rice bran and groundnut oil cake @ 3% of the body weight daily. When the

hatchlings are produced, the pond is to be manured with cow dung @500

Kg/ha for the production of planktons, which form the food for the hatchlings.

In 10 cent pond, 70-100 pairs of Pearl Spot can be stocked. It is anticipated

that from 200 fishes, 70 pairs of male and female can be obtained. From 70

pairs, about 25000 seeds can be produced in one cycle. In two cycles, 50000

seeds can be produced. 150 PSR Units are envisaged in this project.

5.6.7. Adukkalakkulam (Kitchen ponds).

Small pond or tank is seen near almost all houses in Kerala for using

washing purpose or for socking bricks or as a water garden. This facility can be

used in better way in addition to the present use. Pearl Spot is one of the most

ideal fin fishes for culture in this type of water logged areas. RARS,

Kumarakom recommended 100 numbers of Pearl Spot fingerlings can be

cultured in one cent water area. 3000 Adukkalakkulam are envisaged under

this scheme.

5.6.8. Pearl Spot Pond culture.

The natural dwelling place of Karimeen is ponds, rivers, backwaters,

lagoons, reservoirs, paddy fields and low lying wet lands of Kerala. Pearl Spot


21

can be cultured in both fresh water and brackish water ponds. It thrives well

in various types of fresh water bodies such as in irrigation wells, domestic

ponds, step-wells, temple tanks, paddy fields etc. It can also be implemented in

the riverine system where the lotic water system presents. The seed has to be

acclimatized before stocking in fresh water area. Success of culture depends on

environmental factors, biological factors and health status of farmed species.

During the project period, 150 ha water area is envisaged to develop for

Karimeen culture.

5.6.9. Pearl spot – cage culture.

The Regional Agriculture Research Station, Kumarakom has conducted

some experiments in connection with the cage culture of Karimeen in scientific

manner. The result was fascinating and encouraging. Hence in the Karimeen

Varsham project, this has been taken up which also given more confidence to

the farmers. Cage culture of Karimeen can be implemented in the backwaters

and brackish waters without altering our eco system. The cages can be easily

constructed by using arches poles, bamboo poles etc. It is proposing a

standard cage of one-meter cube (1m x1m x 1m). This cage is wrapped around

with nylon net and fixed conveniently in running water system. Care is taken

to see that the cages are fixed in the mud above 50 to 100 cms from bottom.

The water column should be maintained to 2 to 2.5 meters in the fixed cage.

Proper and periodic cleaning is very essential to maintain water flow through

the cages. Karimeen seeds in the size of 3 to 5 cms are to be stocked @200/per

meter cube. Palletized water resistant and high proteinatious feed is used.

Culture period is six months. Expected survival rate is 80%. The expected body

weight on harvest is 150-250 gm. Two crops can be raised during one year.

One cage culture unit consists of ten cages of above dimensions. Such

200 units of culture cages will be implemented during the project period

(Annexure-XIV).

5.6.10. Reverine/Brackish water/ estuarine fisheries stock enhancement

programme.


22

The State has 44 rivers and possesses large number of perennial/

temporary estuaries which support good fishery and provide sustenance to

Inland fisher folk. Due to over fishing and pollution from various sources the

fishery of these areas has declined. In order to rejuvenate the lost fishery

wealth these water bodies are to be stocked with good quality fish/

prawn/shrimp seed. Freshwater prawn and shrimp seeds will be given

preference for ranching since they are endemic to the water bodies of Kerala

and fetch higher price in the market. Since there is no major carp species

indigenous to Kerala, and that the seed production for any indigenous species

is not being commercially carried out, ranching of Indian major carps should

be promoted temporarily with a view to enhance stock and increase capture

fisheries from the inland water bodies of the State. This programme will be

implemented with the support of local bodies ensuring involvement of fisher

folk and public. Quality assured seed will be ranched in public inland waters of

all districts @ �150000/ year/district.

5.6.11. Integrated training programme on aquaculture.

Human Resource Development Programmes (HRDP) will be organized

under the project such as (a) Resource person’s training programme (b)

Farmer’s training programme, (c) Entrepreneurship development programme

and (d) Organization of study tours for farmers. Training programmes will be

organized through NIFAM and RARS Kumarakom. Selected farmers will be

trained on various aspects of scientific fish culture, spawn rearing, fish seed

production etc. Stipend for the farmers during training and travel expenses/

field visits honorarium to Resource persons will also provide.

5.6.12. Preparation of study materials/ Hand books / Documentation etc.

Hand books on various aquaculture practices will be prepared in

Malayalam and made available to the farmers. Training and extension manuals

will be brought out pertaining to various aspects on aquaculture practices.

Organization of workshops, symposia, seminars, meetings etc. will be carried

out at different stages of the project implementation as a part of extension and

training programme. Timely action will be taken to document all programmes


23

coming under the project. For evaluation of performance, rectifications

wherever necessary and for future reference, the result and data generated

have to be properly documented.

5.6.13. Insurance protection for shrimp/ mussel farming.

One of the major risks for successful achievement of the target in

aquaculture was experienced that the farmers are afraid of spreading diseases.

The experience acquired through Matsya Keralam gives the Insurance

Companies to come forward to take up insurance coverage in aquaculture. Due

to the decision to distribute only PCR tested and quality assured seed to

farmers, rare cases of crop loss were seen during implementation stage. This

happened due prior existence of virus in farms and not the fault of quality seed

distributed. Hence this proposal aims to introduce insurance protection for all

shrimp farms and mussel units coming under Matsya Samruthy against flood,

disease and natural calamities through Insurance Company. 75% of the total

premium (maximum � 3000/ha) for shrimp farming area and @ � 375/ one

mussel unit will be provided from the project. Balance will be met by the

beneficiary themselves.

5.6.14. Best Fish/shrimp/mussel/pearl spot Farmers/ FFC/Aquaculture

Co-ordinators/ Awards

To increase inland fish production of the State, it is necessary to provide

some source of encouragement to the aqua culturist such as Awards for

eminent achievement in aquaculture field. For the purpose, best

fish/shrimp/mussel/pearl spot farmers/ fish farmers’ club/aquaculture co-

ordinators/ awards are envisaged in State and District level in this project.

5.6.15. Setting up of infrastructure facilities to Fish Farmers Club

For improving inland fish production, the Local self Government’s can

utilize their Plan fund provided for production sector to purchasing pump

sets, nets, testing kits, fish booth, construction of own building to the Fish

Farmers Club, carrier vehicles for fish sale etc. Project will be prepared by the

Chief Executive Officer; FFDA in consultation with the Local body Authorities

and FFC concerned and submit to the Local Body for including the project. The


24

District Panchayat/ Corporation can also take up this programme by utilizing

their Plan fund.

5.6.16. Fish seed transportation Units

For collection of brood stock, setting up of mobile hatchery units in

suitable places and early transportation of spawn and seed, mobile units have

to be set up in National Fish seed Farm Malampuzha, National Fish seed Farm

Polachira, Fish seed Farm Pannivelichira, Regional Shrimp Farm Azheekode

and one attached to FFDA Idukki. This will help for utilizing the maximum

production capacity of the fish seed farm and also reduce the mortality of seed

while on delayed transportation.

5.6.17. One time working capital to Fish Farmers Club

If the District Panchayat/Corporation/ Local Body willing to provide

working capital to Fish Farmers Club functioning in the jurisdiction of that

Local self Government, can be given one time grant for smooth and effective

functioning of that Fish Farmers Club.

5.6.18. Technology transfer, application, adaptation, consultation with

eminent persons, Resource persons etc.

Development of Technologies in diversified aquaculture is a fast growing

field and adoption of such new technologies has vital role in better

management practices and improving fish production in the State. For the

purpose, transfer of new inventions to the field, consultations with the

Technologists and Scientists who are working in that field is essential.

Expenses in connection with the above, consultancy fee to experts and

resource persons are included in the project.

5.6.19. Creation of a Special Cell at Fisheries Directorate

The existing Special Cell created under Matsya Keralam Project in the

Directorate of Fisheries can effectively utilize for coordinating the State level

activities of Matsya Samrudhi project. The post, Joint Director of Fisheries

(Matsya Keralam) can be re-designated as the Joint Director of Fisheries

(Aquaculture) and posted in the Special Cell of Matsya Samrudhi. The created


25

assets, vehicles, service of the existing staff may retain in the Special Cell for

the implementation of Matsya Samrudhi project.

5.6.20. Fish Farmers Club and its created assets, Bank account and balance

fund

Fish Farmers Club is a group of aqua farmers in a farming locality

(Panchayat) that provides an opportunity to the members of the club to

organize themselves to implement and manage the aquaculture activities and

to solve their local farming problems in a well coordinated and friendly way.

Fish Farmers Club concept provides a mechanism for sustainable Aquaculture

by bringing farmers together. 654 Fish Farmers Clubs were formulated in 710

Local bodies in the State under Matsya Keralam project. This process must be

strengthened and continued involving all the stakeholders. Formation of more

Farmers Clubs is expected to bring in more benefits in the coming years.

Panchayat level Fish Farmers Clubs will be promoted to improve management

practices, information exchange and extension as well as to facilitate timely

supplies of quality inputs, crop insurance cover and product sale. Fish

Farmers Clubs will be taken into confidence for facilitating implementation of

Good Management Practices (GMP). Assets created in Fish Farmers Clubs

under Matsya Keralam project, Registers, Bank Account, and Balance fund etc

can be utilized for Matsya Samruthy project also. Bye-law of FFC and functions

will be as mentioned in Matsya Keralam project (Annexure-XV). There should

be an Executive Committee for the Fish Farmers club under the chairmanship

of the Panchayat President as prescribed in Matsya Keralam Project.

5.6.21. Project Assistants (PA)

The most important constraint in extending aquaculture technology is

the lack of strong extension services. Extension Service Units (ESU) will be

organized in each district with mobile labs to provide better service to farmers.

Posts of 50 Fisheries Extension Officers (FEO) created on contract basis under

Matsya Keralam project can be utilized for Matsya Samrudhi project also by re-

designating as Project Assistants (PA). The principles of good management

practices will be imparted to farmers through the PAs. They will serve as


26

extension agents to promote the application of technology for the development

of diversified aquaculture systems. The PAs are also responsible for the

preparation of Local Body Plan Schemes coming under Matsya Samrudhi

project. Selection of the PAs will be done by the District Fisheries Officers

(DDFs). Strength of the PAs in each district as per need will be decided by the

Special Cell in the Directorate of Fisheries. Qualification of the PAs will be

BFSc or MFSc or MSc (Zoology) or Post graduation in Fisheries subject. Priority

may be given to those who have trained under Matsya Keralam project for

fisheries extension service. Project Assistants on contract basis may give �

12500/month as remuneration and � 500/month (maximum) as traveling

expenses in accordance with his field work and approval of tour diary by the

District Officer.

5.6.22. Aquaculture Co-ordinators

The Aquaculture Co-ordinator will be the key man of the Fish Farmers

Club and he should be always in touch with the farmers, Local body,

Government agencies and market persons. His effective and timely action will

help the farmers as well as the Local body to achieve the sustainability in the

fisheries activities in that locality. The nature and working load of the

Aquaculture Co-ordinator is unpredictable but unavoidable. Under Matsya

Keralam Project, 710 Local Bodies selected Aquaculture coordinators. Selection

of Aquaculture Co-ordinators under Matsya Samrudhi project need slight

change from that of Matsya Keralam, since the working capacity of some

selected Aqua culture Co-ordinators are not come up to the mark as visualized

Hence panels of 2 to 3 persons may be selected by the Local Body and from

that list, the District Officer select one as the Aqua culture Co-ordinator of that

Local Body. Later, if his activities found below average, the District Officer can

remove him and select another person. Aquaculture Co-ordinator may be a

persons coming under the age limit of 20 to 60 and have SSLC as minimum

educational qualification. Preference may be given to a good fish farmer /

youth having knowledge in fisheries activities and have the capacity to organize

or maintain Fish Farmers Club activities. He must effectively co-ordinate with

different programmes of aquaculture within that Panchayat and also assists


27

the Local Body for preparation of various aquaculture projects. All accounts

and records will be maintained in every club by the Aquaculture Co-ordinator

and will be audited by the Secretary of the Local Body periodically.

Remuneration to Aquaculture Co-ordinators may be fixed as � 3000/ per

month.

5.7. Pattern of assistance to farmers

No new pond construction, renovation or reclamation subsidy will be

provided under this project.

Provide input subsidy, training, technical support and marketing

support.

Input subsidy includes free supply of seed and cost of feed.

Input subsidy rate - for fresh water aquaculture and Fish/ prawn

culture in Padasekharams/Kole fields will be � 10000/ha, and for

shrimp culture � 20000/ha.

For fresh water fish culture, Fish/ prawn culture in

Padasekharams/Kole fields and shrimp culture, the farmers are eligible

for availing continuous input subsidy benefit throughout the project

period (3 Years).

No tapering system of input subsidy assistance to farmers is envisaged

under Matsya Samrudhi project.

Farmers who have already availed any type of assistance for aquaculture

from Central or State Government, including farmers in Matsya Keralam

project are also eligible for getting incentive under this project.

Complete loss of culture/crop due to disease or natural calamities will be

inspected and certified by the District Officer will be considered as a

‘non culture year’ for granting free seed supply again.


28

Insurance protection to all shrimp/mussel farms coming under Matsya

Samrudhi against disease and natural calamities are envisaged and 75%

premium amount to insure the culture throughout the project period will

be provided from the project.

All farmers will be registered with concerned FFDAs and Farm Register

for recording daily/weekly/monthly details of water quality and other

parameters of the culture farm as prescribed in Matsya Keralam project

iii. P.monodon - 25000/ha (Post larva-20 days old)

iv. P.indicus - 50000/ha (Post larva- 20 days old)

v. Karimeen - 2500 seed/ha

vi. Adukkalakkulam - 100 seed/pond

Over and above the number of seed supplied under this programme,

farmers can stock additional seed by meeting the cost by themselves.

But the total stocking density and types of fish/shrimp culture

programmes are as shown below.

i. Fish – 5000/ha (Composite fish culture)


30

ii. Scampi - 5000/ha (--do--)

iii. Karimeen - 5000/ha (--do--)

iv. P.monodon - 50000/ha (Modified traditional/extensive)

iv. P.indicus - 60000/ha (--do--)

5.9. Feed subsidy

Feed subsidy will be limited to the amount after meeting the cost of seed

from the input subsidy. The farmers can produce the vouchers of feed cost and

the concerned Chief Executive Officer of the FFDA can disburse the amount

after approval of the District Committee. The maximum benefit will be limited

to total input subsidy allowed.

5.10. Identified areas where Local bodies interaction needed

Local Body may take interest to include amount from their Plan Fund

earmarked in production sector to provide additional feed cost to the

farmers.

Plan Fund may be utilized for setting up of infrastructure facilities like

pump sets, nets, testing kits, fish booth, own building to Fish Farmers

Club, purchasing of carrier vehicles for fish sale etc to Fish Farmers

Club for increasing the food production and related activities.

If the District Panchayat/Corporation/ Local Body willing to provide

working capital to Fish Farmers Club functioning in the vicinity of that

Local self Government, may be given one time grant for smooth and

effective functioning of that Fish Farmers Club.

Local bodies may take steps to renovate the public water bodies coming

under their purview and lease it for aquaculture purpose.

5.11. Selection of Beneficiaries


31

The beneficiaries under the project will be individual farmers, farmers

groups, farmer’s co-operatives, Padasekhara Samithis, lassies of water bodies,

Local bodies, owners of holy ponds, NGOs and Other Departments having

water bodies.

The selection of beneficiaries will be carried out by a Committee headed

by the President of the Local Self Government and Matsyabhavan Officer as

Convener. The Co-ordinator (Aquaculture) will be a member in that

committee. Standing Committee Chairman of various Committees of the Local

Body and the Secretary of the Local body are other members. The selected list

of beneficiaries will be forwarded to the District Approval Committee (DAC)

headed by District Panchayat President as Chairman and District Fisheries

Officer as Convener. The selection will be made transparent based on the

guide lines issued by government.

5.12. Voluntary Technical Corps

Support from technically qualified people is essential for frequent

monitoring of culture. Hence students and alumni of various Fisheries

Educational Institutions like the College of Fisheries (KAU), School of

Industrial Fisheries and School of Marine Science (CUSAT) Department of

Aquatic Biology and Fisheries (KU) and (MGU), can come forward to serve

voluntarily as Technical Consultants (Voluntary Technical Corps) throughout

the culture period.

5.13. Harvesting, Marketing support and publicity campaign

As a result of the ‘Matsya Samrudhi’ project, a quantum jump in inland

fish production is anticipated. Hence suitable marketing strategy needs to be

evolved especially in the context of the highly unsatisfactory marketing

practices prevailing in the inland sector. For a successful marketing of the

produce, it is essential to increase the consumer appeal; for carps and the

products made out of them. To achieve this, considerable campaign support

has to be given to the marketing programme. Publicity campaigns, media


32

coverage, festivals of fish preparations etc are some of the tools which can be

effectively employed.

5.14. Implementation Stages

During the first year, survey of suitable ponds and tanks will be

organized, with the active participation of the Fish Farmers Clubs. Public

ponds owned by Local bodies will be leased out to interested farmers

groups/societies/SHGs for a minimum period of 3 years. The Local body can

also take up the project in their water bodies. Intensive training on various

aspects of fish/ shrimp culture will be imparted to farmers at local level. Farms

found suitable for fish culture will be prepared for fish/ shrimp culture. Pond

preparation practices like de-weeding, pond clearing, reclamation of ponds,

water inlet- outlet arrangements etc. will be done by the beneficiaries

themselves. Good quality fish/ shrimp seed shall be supplied to farmers for

stocking. The seeds required for the programme will be procured from

Government farms, Seed Rearing Groups, FFDA sponsored hatcheries and

Matsyafed hatcheries. The water management, manuring, feeding, growth

monitoring etc. will be carried out under the guidance of the District Project

Cell. Final stage of the programme will be the harvesting and marketing of the

cultivated fish/ shrimp, under the supervision of Fish Farmers Clubs and

Local Bodies.

6. Role of Department Agencies in implementing the project

Below mentioned agencies are responsible for implementing the project,

according to the direction of the State Level Steering Committee (SLSC).
