Trend and Growth Analysis of Fish Seed Production of Indian and Andhra Pradesh

The production of good quality fish seed in adequate quantity is the foremost important thing in order to boost up the aquaculture industry. Seeds and feeds are among the most important inputs required for sustainable aquaculture industry improvement in any country (Das and Saha, 2021). Fish is the most important source of animal protein food for the human population and the potential of fish culture production from ponds, floating cages and various other small water bodies in India is great. The supply of quality fish seed is a key factor to the expansion of fish farming. Fish seed demand at present is strong, unsatisfied and expected to expand and fish seed business in India is profitable (Anil et al., 2013).  Increased production of fish depends largely on availability of good quality fish seed. About two decades ago, farmers had to depend almost entirely on seeds from natural breeding grounds which supplied more than 85%of total requirement of seed (Karim and Ahsan 1989).
