I. Adapting the following strategies for Development of Fisheries Sector:

A.INLAND FISHERIES SECTOR:

• • Seed stocking will be done in all potential water bodies

  • Captive Seed Nurseries for quality seed supply

  • Fish landing Centres at Reservoirs to reduce post harvest losses

  • Enhancing Production and Productivity through selective breeding and quality seed supply

  • Capacity Building to fishers and aqua farmers on BMPs

  • All benefits seeded with Jandhan, Aadhar and Mobile Number for Direct Benefit Transfer

  • Association with Tata Trust in Mission Fingerling programme

B.MARINE FISHERIES SECTOR

• • Providing marine infrastructure in landing centres to avoid post harvest losses.

  • Arrangement of digital display boards in landing centres for dissemination of weather and PFZ information.

  • Coastal security through boats registration, colour coding & biometric cards

  • Sea – weed culture for enhanced livelihoods

  • Open Sea cage culture for boosting the production from coastal waters

  • Promotion of deep sea fishing for exploitation of Tuna fishery

  • Ban period in marine fisheries for conservation of resources

  • Capacity building to coastal fishers on Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and Post harvest technology

C.AQUACULTURE :

• • Establishment of AQF & BMC for P. vannamei, Hatcheries for Mud crab & Sea bass

  • Inspection of shrimp hatcheries & Aqua Shops

  • Aquaculture zonation

  • Networking of Aqua labs

  • On-farm Demonstration of BMPs & Innovative culture practices in 181 Aqua clusters (Chandranna Aqua Rythu Kshetralu)
