Methods and Protability of Fish Hatchery Enterprise in India

Enterprise is the key foundation for any start-up or business as it provides scopes to the economic growth of individuals as well as the countries. A sh hatchery is a reliable enterprise with a sustainable good economic return. To maintain the proper and timely supply of the spawns to the sheries industries the hatcheries should perform their activities over the year. A study in the West Bengal state of India shows that a substantial economic return can be obtained from a sh hatchery. It was also seen that the benet-cost ratio is also greater than one (1.73). Though further research scope and enhancement of technologies can strengthen the enterprise with more protability.


Introduction
The word entrepreneur has originated from the French word entrepreneur meaning the person who undertakes the risk of new enterprise. Entrepreneurship is a critical component of the country's economic growth since it provides a key means of addressing issues like as poverty, unemployment, and low per capita income through capital mobilization and job creation. India is also a major producer of sh through aquaculture across the world. More than 10% of the world's sh variety is found in India. With an annual sh production of around 9.06 million metric tonnes, the country now ranks second in the world in overall sh production (FAO). India provides around 7.7% of global sh output and is the fourth largest exporter of sh products in the world (Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry & Dairying). In the era of declining productivity of the soil via agricultural means Fish hatchery could came out as an alternative economic farming system to sustain the production economy in pro t line. Fish hatchery is the growing of shes by arti cial breeding and hatching in their early stage of life. Many often, the progress of farming have been slowed by a shortage of seed, but once that bottleneck was removed, the industry grew rapidly (Musa et al, 2012). Despite the fact that natural sh supplies in Lake Victoria are diminishing due to over shing and other causes, demand for sh protein has been steadily rising as a result of fast human population expansion (FAO, 2006). Larval and juvenile shes produced generally out of these hatcheries. The sh farmers need a sustainable amount of health sh seeds or ngerlings to grow them in proper amount and time to capture the market. This induces the farmers for preparing their own hatcheries to sustain the production of sh seeds and smooth run of the sh farming enterprises. Keeping this in view a study has been carried out in West Bengal, India in rural sh hatchery enterprises to nd out minutes of the processes and the economic advantages acquired out of it.

Materials And Methods
The study was carried out in a sh hatchery farm in North 24 PGs districts of West Bengal State in India.
Structured questionnaires were used to nd out different wings and arena of the enterprises. The hatcheries were building up in 1987 taking loan from the bank with an inspiration from the ancestors.

Infrastructures
The farm had four numbers of Hatcheries, eight number of Pump (5 HP), four Motors of Horse Power, four numbers of water tank and six numbers of Nets for covering the hatcheries as its infrastructural assets. 6 labours needed as human resources for 6 month.
Key Activities by steps: Step 1: Buying of brood sh (male & female) (Jan,Feb,March) Step 2: Feeding of sh (Ground Nut Cake,Rice,Mahua Cake,Boiled Pea,Soyabean Dust, lentil,Cerelac) Step 3: Application of lime for hardiness of sh and Methylene Blue against diseases.
Step 4:Catching of male and female sh by netting during April.
Step 5: Placing them in breeding hapa for 4 hours After 4 hours inducing hormones are injected to male and female sh as per the doses in Table-1. Thereafter 5-7 hours female sh lay eggs. The shes are then taken out from the breeding hapa. "Haritoki Cosh" has been added for hardening the egg sponge. Subsequently after 24 hours eggs are hatched. In about 72 hours of hatching seeds are ready for marketing. Marketing channels has also been studied for proper understanding of economics and the after process. It has been identi ed by several questionnaires that the enterprise can directly sell the seeds to the sh cultivar or can sell in local market for onward selling to the sh farms. Generally the dealers come to Page 4/8 them and according to their need they supply the spawns. A numbers of marketing channels involves in these types of hatcheries (Chaudharya et al., 2021) Result And Discussions After through research and discussion the cost involved has been structured out and simultaneously gross return per year from the enterprises has been analyzed. The following table shows the ndings of the survey.  Gross return in the season 12,10,000

Conclusion
It can be concluded that by the several ndings around the globe, sh hatcheries is an reliable enterprise which most of the time gains a good pro t and very much important to keep the sh production viable all the way. Legend not included with this version
