Role of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) In Fisheries Extension

The Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK) in the country was established in 1974 with the first one at Pondicherry subsequent to the detailed discussions and studies followed by the recommendation of the Education Commission (1964-66), Govt. of India. The initial objective was to establish specialized institutions to provide vocational education in agriculture and allied fields at the pre and post matriculate levels to cater the training needs of a large number of boys and girls coming from rural areas. Thus Krishi Vigyan Kendras (Agricultural Science Centres) were established as innovative institutions for imparting vocational training to the practicing farmers, school dropouts and field level extension functionaries

Evaluation of Anabas testudineus Farming in Natural Ponds and Impact on Subsequent Crop

The climbing perch ( ) is a species of amphibious freshwater fish in the family Anabantidae and is widely found across the globe. This fish can survive without water for a short period by resting under the mud during dry seasons. They do aerial respiration using paired suprabranchial labyrinthiform organs. This fish was used as a biocontrol agent against mosquitoes in confined water bodies, including rice fields, as they can feed on insects at the water surface. The performance of monoculture Anabas in natural ponds and impacts on the consecutive carp culture in the same pond are evaluated in the present study. The average production of Anabas recorded was 1.39 Kg per m area of the pond with survival of 57.33%. The significant reduction survival percentage of carps was observed in the second crop. The 2 reduction in carp stock was observed due to the predation by retained Anabas of the previous culture. They resist the toxicity of sea seed cake once hidden in the pond bottom. They might have survived inside the deep layer of clay with the help of respiratory support of the labyrinth and were established later. The study confirms the opportunistic carnivore feeding behavior without other feeds. The study concludes that Anabas is a good candidate fish for places where water availability is an issue. Proper fencing around the ponds needed to check its movement out and through the land. When a different candidate species is planned for the subsequent crop, complete harvest, even from the deeper portions of the pond bottom, must be ensured to prevent surviving Anabas from feeding on the fingerlings of the next crop

Pokkali: An Exquisite Climate Resilient and Organic Rice-Prawn Production System for Future

The globe is facing faster climatic changes in the 21st century than in the past. The world’s average temperature is rising and is accompanied by flooding, drought, and erratic rainfalls. The change in soil and water salinity is a peripheral impact of this utmost weather conditions. These climatic changes have a significant effect on agricultural production, making climate -adaptive crops extremely valuable at this time. Pokkali is the oldest indigenous rice variety that has 3000 years of organic cultivation and climate resilience history. The journey of Pokkali rice began from a flood, where earlier Pokkali was wild rice that was seen in the western ghats of India and was carried by the flood to low-lying coastal saline areas. All the climatic stress was overcome in this great journey and it developed resistance to flood and salinity. It is grown in the water-logged, coastal regions of Ernakulam, Thrissur, and Alappuzha districts in Kerala and is well known for its flood, saline tolerance, and high nutritional value. The rice got its name Pokkali, because of its notable height, which can grow up to 6 feet. In Malayalam, Pokkali is a term used to describe someone who dominates in height over others. Pokkali rice cultivation alternated with extensive aquaculture is known as Pokkali farming

Accelerated seed production of pearl spot using modified hatchery method

Pearl spot (Etroplus suratensis), popularly known in Malayalam as karimeen is an indigenous fish extensively found along the east and south-west coasts of Peninsular India (Jhingran and Natarajan, 1969,1973). Pearl spot is popular in Kerala for its taste and appearance. It is an elegant and exotic dish during the festivals of all occasions in Kerala. It is also inevitable in the non-vegetarian dishes of both foreign and native tourists in the house boats and resorts located along the coastal line of Kerala
