Roopchand Fish Seed

Product Description

Rupchanda, also known as Indian salmon or Tenualosa ilisha, is a species of fish found in the Indian subcontinent. Rupchanda typically has a slender, elongated body with a silvery coloration. It has a slightly forked tail and a pointed snout. It can grow up to around 60 centimeters (24 inches) in length and weigh several kilograms when fully grown. Rupchanda is found in the coastal waters of the Indian Ocean, particularly along the eastern coast of India and neighboring countries such as Bangladesh. It migrates upstream for spawning in freshwater rivers during the monsoon season. Rupchanda primarily feeds on plankton, small fishes, and crustaceans. Rupchanda is highly prized for its taste and nutritional value in South Asian cuisine. It is a popular choice for cooking various dishes such as curries, fries, and steamed preparations. In India, Rupchanda contributes significantly to the fisheries sector, providing livelihoods to many people involved in fishing, aquaculture, processing, and trade.

Anand Krishi Khamar is supplying rupchanda fish spawn and fry to allover the country to meet the demand from farmers.

There is considerable potential for Rupchanda aquaculture in India. With growing demand for seafood and declining wild fish stocks, there is increasing interest in aquaculture as a means of sustainable seafood production. Rupchanda's fast growth rate and high market demand make it an attractive species for aquaculture ventures. Despite its potential, Rupchanda aquaculture faces challenges such as disease outbreaks, habitat degradation, and environmental pollution. Proper management practices, including water quality management, disease prevention, and sustainable feed sourcing, are essential to ensure the success and sustainability of Rupchanda aquaculture operations. Rupchanda fish presents significant opportunities for aquaculture development in India, contributing to food security, income generation, and economic growth in the fisheries sector. However, sustainable management practices and government support are crucial for realizing its full potential.
