Subsidy for fresh water seed hatchery at the rate of 10% with maximum
ceiling of Rs. 80,000/- in plain area and Rs. 1,20,000/- in hilly areas is
available only for entrepreneurs.
The subsidy is also available for those cases developed through own
source by the fish farmer without the help of Financing Institutions.
Now fresh water prawn culture has been started. Prawn can be cultured
along with other I.M.C. ( Catla, Rohu, Mrigal). This culture fetches a good
return to the fish farmers.
Spawn, Fry (Fish Seed) and
fish production

seed is very important which ultimately depends on production of quality spawn.

farmers.
