•The system consists of a spawning tank, a filter, an incubation tank, hatching nets, and larviculture ponds.

•Species breed using this system grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), bighead carp (Aristichtys nobilis), and black carp (Mylopharyngodon piceus).

Incubation tank and hatching nets• Incubation tank : rectangular,10m×2.6m×0.9 m

and made of concrete.• The bottom of this tank is 1 m deeper into the

ground than the bottom of the spawning tank. • A tube from the spawning tank runs through the

center of the incubation tank at the bottom with 20 manifolds branching out sideways.

• Each manifold has pipes pointed upward which connect to a round hatching net, mesh size 1.0 mm, diameter 67 cm and 50 cm depth

• In addition, underneath the inlet port of each hatching net, an aeration hole was created to facilitate flow of air

BROODSTOCK HOLDING UNIT

• Indoor/outdoor• They are usually located close to the hatchery.• The most common design being rectangular

earthen ponds or round concrete tanks between 50 and 200 m3, but which can go up to 500 m3.

• Floating Cage:50 - 200 m2( 5 x 5 x 2 m or 10 x 10 x 2 m) stocking density @ 2 kg/m3- rearing brood stock e.g. seabass

• Tank: 12 x 6 x 2 m (gross capacity 100 t) – Flow through-Aeration; stocking density 1 kg/m3

• Cobia- submerged cage

SPAWNING UNIT• Round/ square (with rounded corners) tanks of 4-20

m3 capacity, concrete/FRP/ PVC-lined.

• Tank depth should be limited to 1.5 m as maximum• Windows/Air-extractors for controlled light conditions, to

renew the air and reduce humidity inside the spawning unit.

• floor tiled or painted with epoxy coatings.

• drainage system: screened channels under the floor. (slope of at least 2%).

• Thermal insulation of walls and roof to save on heating costs

• A framework of zinc-coated steel beams suspended over the tanks to allow the installation of the main support systems such as heating, water supply and recirculation, light and electric systems, air and emergency oxygen supplies.

SUPPORTING SYSTEMS

Water circuit

• heated /cooled as per requirement

• When the breeding cycle is to be manipulated, a water recirculation system is introduced to reduce heating and cooling costs. Recycling systems require a biofilter

• PVC pipes are used to supply and drain water

• The water circuit design with the minimum number of corners to avoid pressure losses and the appearance of dead circulation points where sediments and bacteria could accumulate.

• components assembled by means of fast joints and bolted flanges to facilitate dismantling for cleaning and service operations.

• According to the water supply system, i.e. by gravity or by pumping, PVC pipes to stand different water pressure levels.

• independent inlet placed on the tank rim; a ball valve should be provided to adjust its flow according to requirements.

• Tap water should be easily at hand with a few delivery points and a washbasin for cleaning routines.

Lights• Light intensity :500-1 000 lux at the water surface by

halogen lamp placed over each tank.

• Lamps: timer/dimmer controlled twilight effect. Large windows should be avoided to prevent direct sunlight falling on the tanks.

Aeration system• Air supply is assured by a few coarse diffusers placed

on the tank bottom and should be regulated to keep eggs suspended in the water mass.

• Plastic needle valves for aquarium or metal clamps (much more expensive) can be used to regulate air flow.

Overwintering facilities•In locations with mild winter conditions.•protected by a light cover (eg.

greenhouse),•deepened (3 to 4 m)•sheltered from the prevailing winds by

means of windscreens,•supplied with heated water.• indoor facilities in case the above proves

expensive

Microalgae

Batch Culture System

The following consecutive stages might be utilized: test tubes, 2 l flasks, 5 and 20 l carboys, 160 l cylinders, 500 l indoor tanks, 5,000 l to 25,000 l outdoor tanks

Figure : Carboy culture apparatus (Fox, 1983).

Fig: Diagram of a continuous culture apparatus : (1) enriched seawater medium reservoir (200 l); (2) peristaltic pump; (3) resistance sensing relay (50 - 5000 ohm); (4) light-dependent resistor (ORP 12); (5) cartridge filter (0.45 mm); (6) culture vessel (40 l); (7) six 80 W fluorescent tubes (Laing, 1991)

Two basic designs of PE bags of different capacities are utilised: a smaller single or double suspended bag (capacity 50 to 150l), and a larger one standing inside a wire mesh cylinder (up to 400l). In both cases, hot extruded tubular PE of 0.2 to 0.3 mm thickness is employed. . The bottom of the bag is sealed either by hot welding, or in the case of the U-shaped double bags just by knotting

Rotifer

• tanks are round with a conical bottom with a capacity ranging between 1 and 4 m3. •Their inner surface can be white gel-coated to improve cleaning.• An adequate drain with a valve at the cone tip for harvesting operations.•placed in double rows separated by a wooden or metal walkway for easy monitoring

• A heated seawater circuit is necessary, with a temperature control to adjust the temperature in a very short time.

• temperature maintained with electrical heaters made of titanium or with coiled tubing all around the tank..

• Aeration in each tank is fitted with air stones placed at about 15 cm from the bottom to avoid stirring the sediment.

• At least 5 air diffusers can be used in a 2 m3 tank: one at the centre, and the other four placed along the wall.

• Around 2-3 m3/h of air flow per m3 of culture volume is required.

Artemia • Basic round tank with conical bottom offers near ideal

conditions in respect of water circulation, aeration and harvesting.

• Tank capacity : lower (1 to 2 m3) than rotifer tank, for greater production flexibility.

• The tank inner surface painted white (gel-coated) to ensure a better light diffusion (important in the first hours of cyst incubation) and proper cleaning.

• A transparent window near the cone tip to attract nauplii at harvest time by means of a light source.

• A drain with a valve at the cone tip is used for harvesting.• tanks are positioned along the walls to leave enough free

space at the centre of the room for harvesting operations.

• A lamp is installed in each tank, made with 1 or 2 fluorescent tubes delivering 2 000 lux

• an open-ended PVC pipe (¾") placed in each tank near the bottom for strong aeration. A ball valve allows regulation of the air flow, which should be about 6-8 m3/h/ m3 of incubation volume.

• A heated seawater circuit is necessary, with a temperature control to adjust the temperature in a very short time

TanksA variety of tanks are required for hatchery operation

and these are described below Fibreglass : Ideal, but prohibitively expensive in

some countries. Ferrocement : Much cheaper than reinforced

concrete andcan be cast into any desired shape; however, requires properly trained masons.

Reinforced concrete: Very suitable, but also expensive.

Plastered brick: Easy to use, but prone to leakage without costly epoxy coating.

Plastic-lined wooden or bamboo tanks: The cheapest, but not very durable.

While constructing larval tanks :-• avoid Cu/ Zn /oil/GI steel/ Bare concrete

for construction•Concrete tanks with several coatings of

epoxy paints can be used•Inner surface should be smooth•rounded at corners•Color: green/blue/black•Size :1-8m3 ( 2-5m3)

Nursery

Megalopa are nursed in concrete tanks or in net cages set in brackishwater ponds. Black nets are placed at the bottom as substrates and some are suspended in the water column.About 30-50% of the volume of the rearing water (26-30 ppt) is replaced daily during the first 5 days and every two days thereafter.

Bivalve Hatchery

Site selection

Things to be considered•Government regulations•Physiological requirements•Avoid areas with very low temperatureHeavy rainfallHigh salinity fluctuationContamination with pollutants &

pesticides

Layout of a bivalve hatchery varies from:• site to site,• with species produced, •geographic location, • funds available, •the target production•species and personal preferences

There are two basic parts to a bivalve hatchery

1. the water system and2. the physical plant.

Sea Water System

•Hatchery near to shore to avoid pumping of water to long distance- cost

•Pumping of water should be done from deeper water in case of

Temperate areasAreas with high rainfall Surface blooms of toxic algaecontamination
