How are spawns of fishes produced artificially?
The artificial intervention in this procedure consists of ;
(1) collection of eggs, larvae , or fry.
(2) their protection from natural enemies and unfavorable environmental factors .
(3) raising the larvae up to the fingerling stage.
(4) distributing them for stocking in different water bodies.
-This technology of river fish seed collection can be easily adopted in other parts of the world where useful river spawning fishes are available in adequate number.
-However, this technology has several disadvantages.
-The collection is generally not pure, but a mixture of several species some of which may be predators or of undesirable type.
-It is not easy to separate the various species, particularly in the early stages.
-However, some techniques have been developed both in India and in China to segregate desirable from undesirable seed.
-These are successful only to a limited extent, and one has to wait until the larvae develop into fry with distinguishable characteristics for proper identification.
-The collection technology is labour-intensive and requires special skill in handling and transport.
-Another disadvantage is that the brood stock is unknown and there is hardly any possibility of improving the stock.
