Infrastructural facilities
Brood stock ponds
Continuous supply of good quality brooders is one of the pre-requisite for the successful operation of a commercial hatchery. Therefore it is essential to have brood stock ponds located in the proximity of the hatchery complex so as to avoid rough handling and long distance transportation of brooders. The texture of the soil suitable for brood–stock ponds is sandy–loam or sandy clay loam, which should have pH between 6.5 to 8.0. The site should have perennial source of freshwater free from pollutants.
