Integration of aquaculture with irrigation system provides good scope for increasing the productivity of water by way of fish production without intervening in the irrigation activity. The fisheries components in the IAMP project are planned with the following objectives:
• Increase in water spread area under aquaculture and over all fish production
• Introducing Improved production models using fast growing fish verities
• Improved seed production activities including establishing fast growing fish hatchery.
• Production of low-cost and efficient fish feed.
• Promotion of suitable market linkages for better access to markets.
• Capacity building of farmers in adaption of latest aquaculture techniques and Institutional capacity building on aquaculture.
