Abstract:
India is one of the largest fish producing county in the world after China and Indonesia and shares 7.58% to the global production, contributing 1.24% to India’s gross value added (GVA) and 7.28% (2018-19) to the agricultural GVA, fisheries and aquaculture contain to be an important source of food, nutrition, income and livelihood to millions of people. Fisheries sector in India has shown impressive growth with an average annual growth rate of 10.88% during the year from 2014-15 to 2018-19. This sector provides livelihood to about 25 million fishers and fish farmers at the primary level and twice the number along the value chain. Fish being an affordable and rich source of animal protein, is one of the healthiest options to mitigate hunger and nutrient deficiency. The present study on Management of Fish Seed and Prawn Juveniles supply in Telangana State – A Study has been undertaken to highlight the emerging issues for the development of fisheries sector with special reference to the utilization of available natural resources and seed supply management and the arising problems to produce and supply the fish and prawn seed within the state to the maximum possible extent. Therefore it is a modest attempt to study on the management of opportunities and challenges to develop the seed production in available resources.
