Introduction: India is rich in freshwater aquaculture resources that includes 2.35 million hectare of ponds and tanks, 1.3 million hectare of oxbow lakes and derelict waters, 0.19 million km of rivers and canals, 3.15 million hectare of reservoirs that could be utilized for aquaculture. Ponds and tanks are the prime resources for aquaculture, however only about 0.8 – 0.9 million ha is used for aquaculture currently. The total aquaculture production of 2.47 million tones that constitutes 4.2% of global production was valued at US$ 2.9 billion [1]. If aquaculture is to play a vital role in ensuring future fish availability for food security and nutrition in India, this sector has to develop and grow in an economically viable and environmentally sustainable fashion.

Abstract

A stochastic frontier production function model was utilized to estimate the technical efficiency of carp farms operating in Kolleru Lake area that is the largest freshwater wetland ecosystem with shallow water area covering 955 sq. km upto 10.7’ contour located in between Krishna and Godavari delta of southern India. Analysis was based on sample of 221 carp farms. The estimated mean technical efficiency (TE) was found to be 0.7260. The highest significant elasticity of coefficient was observed for feed (0.2001) followed by organic manure (0.1411) justifying the importance of these two inputs in yield of carps. The empirical results suggest that there are significant possibilities to increase efficiency levels by increasing pond size, provision for regular supply of fresh water, right method of application of drugs, employing labour on regular basis and leasing out the water bodies to farmers whose primary occupation is fish farming and educating the farmers to procure seed from reliable sources, to follow proper harvesting technique and avoiding periodical netting. Analysis of potential TE improvement of aquaculture farms reveals that if the average farmer in the sample was to achieve the TE level of its most efficient counterpart then the average farmer would realize an 26.7 percent cost saving. A similar calculation for the most technically inefficient farmer revealed a cost saving of 48.9 percent. Differences in efficiency levels are identified and explained with respect to various farm specific variables having impact on TE through estimating a model for technical inefficiency effects. The study suggests that with the same level of input, there is potential to enhance the yield to the the extent of 27.40 percent through efficient use of resources.

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017

Post Demonetization Budget-2017- Expectations, Apprehensions and Reality: India's Budget-2017 (Demonetisation Book 2) Kindle Edition by ajit roy (Author, Editor) The Prime Minister's announcement of the withdrawal of ₹1000 and ₹500 notes ranks among the most significant economic measures taken by his government. The audacious move has given birth to hopes of a decisive blow to the black economy, terrorism and counterfeit currency. It is also being lauded for its potential to convert India into a cashless economy. The backdrop to the Budget was a fairly volatile past few months with multiple issues such as (a) demonetisation; (b) ambiguities on indirect transfer taxes; (c) treaty changes to India-Mauritius Treaty etc. Union finance minister Arun Jaitley stepped into Parliament on February 1, 2017, unveiled India’s first post demonetisation Budget. Many people have questioned if this move is the biggest disruption for electronic payments in 2016. Remone...

A survey to assess the fishery resources reveals that Assam is one of the richest state in the country with surface water resources where bheel fisheries and pond and tank fisheries alone occupies about 1.40 lakh hectares area. Within the confined water bodies, bheel fisheries constitute 54% of to...

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura A.D. Upadhyay, M. Sinha, 1 , A.K. Roy, J.R. Dhanze and D.K. Pandey College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra Tripura – 799 210, India 1 Directorate of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura, Agartala, India Email:ad_up@rediffma Abstract Fishermen cooperatives are recognized as means of socio-economic development of fishers/fish farming community, which generally belong to weaker section of the society. The state of Tripura has made significant progress in fish production by 197 per cent from 2004-05 to 2011-12. An attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the status of Fishermen Cooperatives in Tripura with respect to water holdings and fish and fish seed production. It has been found that the fishermen cooperative in Tripura like other states of the country is not encouraging because majority of them...

Big Data to check Illegal Fishing

Big Data to Check Illegal Fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing accounts for a significant amount of over fishing. Each year the global IUU catch has been estimated to be 11–26 million tones that accounts between 7% and 17% of the total global catch. IUU is creating pressure on sustainability of production. If IUU continues there is a risk for food security and livelihoods of millions of people particularly living in coastal region. In such situation, big data application for sustainable fisheries may be useful in solving IUU fishing and over fishing in the open waters through locating vessel’s Automatic identification systems (AIS) that broadcast data on their location and movements. New technologies such as remote sensing and big data application can identify and control several areas of environmental and natural resource management leading to sustainability of renewable. Natural resources.

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis

Statistical Methods for Genomic Sequence and Microarray Analysis A.K. Roy1 and S.R. Martha1 1 Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture Kausalyaganga,Bhubaneshwar – 751 002,Odisha Multivariate analysis methods such as Correspondence Analysis and Principle Component Analysis have often been used to identify major trends of variation in synonymous codon usage among inter or intra specific genes. Genetic codes are degenerate meaning most of amino acids can be encoded by more than one codon (triplet of nucleotides); such codons are synonymous and usually differ by one nucleotide in the third position. The alternative synonymous codons are not used with similar frequency and their usage varies among different genes. Hence there is the presence of Relative Synonymous Codon Usage values.
