8 Rohu Catla Hybrid Detection Kit Inventor Scientists: P. Jayasankar, M. Mohanty, L. Sahoo, P. Das, B.K. Das, P. Routray and D.K. Varma A PCR based identification kit has been developed which can identify hybrid in just two steps with genomic DNA as starting material. This is a specific kit designed for the identification of Labeo rohita (Rohu), Catla catla (Catla) and their Hybrid in the early life stages. This technology would really be of great use for those producers and buyers for screening of quality seeds and moreover it would be a stepping stone for seed certification programs for both government and private hatcheries. BENEFITS PCR and agarose gel based detection kit Highly specific for rohu catla hybrids in reciprocal crosses Ensure purity of seed Potential for seed certification No sequencing is required Detection can be done easily in an agarose gel Less time consuming process, 4-6 hours This technology will be of great use in the seed certification programme and will also be beneficial to the farmers for quality and pure seed culture.

9 FRP Demand Fish Feeder Inventor Scientists : B. C. Mohapatra, B. Sarkar, S. K. Singh, D. Majhi & N. Sarangi FRP demand fish feeder has main components of 10 liter capacity feed hopper and activated mechanism. The feeder is installed in a pond with the activating mechanism extending into the water through an activator rod. The feed drops by gravity onto the adjustable acrylic feed platform positioned below the hopper and above the water level. When fish activates the rod, feed pellets retained on the feed platform slowly drop on to the water surface. Benefits It is easy to construct, low cost and maintenance free. The feeder is suitable for pelleted fed and can be used in any kind of rearing system. The growth rates of fish were estimated 10-15% higher in the demand feeding cisterns / tanks fitted with feeders than the hand feeding tanks. The demand feeders will increase feed consumption in fish by making it available to them continuously. The designed feeder can hold 10 kg feed, which is sufficient to feed 500 kg fish if 2% of their body weight per day. By reducing the feed quantity to the pond, the organic pollution will be less in the feeder fitted pond. This technology will be of great use in reducing labour and also will be beneficial to the farmers by increasing efficiency of feed distribution. A state of the art manufacturing facility will be required by the entrepreneurs. ICAR-CIFA will provide training, handholding support and control to run this technology.

10 Argulus (A. siamensis & A. japonicus) Detection Kit Inventor Scientists : P. K. Sahoo & Team In Indian aquaculture, Argulosis caused by Argulus sp., predominantly A. siamensis and A. japonicus, is one of the most devastating and economically important disease of freshwater culture system. A loss to the tune of Rs.300 crore per annum has been estimated due to this disease in India. Rapid detection and identification of this pathogen is of paramount significance for timely implementation of effective counter measures. Argulosis management measures should be species-specific for far-reaching results because both species of Argulus demonstrate differences in infection and pathology patterns. The Argulus Detection Kit utilizes the polymerase chain reaction as the method in species-specific identification of the two important Argulus sp., A. siamensis and A. japonicus. Benifits Ready to use Results comes within 8 hours only Greater accuracy compared to microscopic identification Quality assurance provided by controls DNA fragment of both species This technology will be of great use in detection of Argulus sp. and also will be economically beneficial to the farmers.
