Unit 5 - Fish seed rearing techniques
5.1.4. Stocking of nursery pond
- Nursery pond is stocked with three day old spawn when adequate plankton appears in it.
- For maximum survival of spawn, nurseries should have a rich crop of zooplankton preferably rotifers and cladocerans.
- A minimum of 1.5 to 2.0 ml zooplankton in 54.5 ml water is essential for satisfactory stocking of the pond.
- In well manured nurseries 1.0-2.0 million spawn has been stocked with satisfactory results, with a provision of artificial feed, at the pond culture Substation of the CIFRI.
- The stocking of a nursery pond is best done either in the morning or evening hours.
