In order to bring all the available effective water spread area under scientific fish culture with optimum stocking density, 368.5 million fingerlings shall be required every year. This would demand seed production of 4865 million spawn and 1216 million fry every year. The total average seed supply is only 30% of estimated seed requirement. Further, only 25% of the present seed supply is met within Rajasthan, white the remaining is brought from other states mainly from Bareilly and Ramgarh region of U.P., Kolkata region of West Bengal and Bharauch and surat regions of Gujarat. Within Rajasthan, the public sector hatcheries and seed farms supply only 13% of the total, while another 12% comes from private hatchery as well as the rearing in private sector. |

There are 28 government hatcheries/seed farms exist in the state. Most of the farms are non-functional. The reasons behind this are non availability of water or heavy seepage of soil and faulty layout/designs. |

In addition there are 5 more hatcheries in Rajasthan one at college of fisheries, Udaipur one with RTADCF, Jaisamand and three private hatcheries viz. Choudhary Fish Hatchery, Hanumangarh, Lupin Fish Hatchery, Bharatpur and Thar Fish Hatchery, chatargarh, Bikaner. |
