Pump house (4 x 4 m) = 2 No. = 32 m²
Generator room (10 x 5) = 1 No. = 50 m²
Air-blower room (10 x 5 m) = 1 No. =500 m²
Store (10x10) = 1 No. = 100m²
Office (10x5m)=1No. = 50 m²
Staff quarters (10x5) = 10 No. = 500 m²
Total = 782m²

Note :
The above calculations have been made on the basis of the existing technology with an average survival of 25% from stage I Larvae to post Larvae (PL 5-10). With the same infrastructural facilities the production may increase by 50% (i.e., 15 million per annum)
