Abstract

Hatcheries are in intensive use in countries like U.S.A., (Burrows and
Palmer 1955) U.S.S.R. (Konradt 1966), Hungairy and Switzerland for raising
seed of cultivated fishes such as salmons, carps, perches and mullets (Huet
1970). Subsequent to the success of induced breeding of Indian major carps
(Catla catla, Labeo rahita, L. calbasu, Cirrhinus mrigala) (Chaudhuri and Alikunhi
1957) and Chinese carps {Ctenopharyngodon idellus, Hypophthalmichthys
molitrix) (Alikunhi et al 1963), in India, the need for development of hatcheries
was emphasised so as to reap maximum crop of fish seed from the huge quantities
of eggs produced by the hypKjphysation technique. The prevalent practise for
incubation and hatching of carp eggs is to use the Hapas (cloth containers)
fixed in stagement pond water
