- Aquaculture development in inland salt affected under/un productive areas of south west districts (Fazilka, Sri Muktsar Sahib, Bathida and Mansa)
- Fresh water carp culture in low saline areas (<5 ppt) - Economic return: 1.0-1.25/ha/yr
- Vannamei shrimp Culture in high saline areas (10-25 ppt) - Economic return : 7.5 -10 lakh/ha/crop of 100-120 days
- Brood stock development and breeding of common carp in inland saline water up to 5ppt salinity
- fresh water prawn and murrel culture in inland saline waters
- Diversification - Species and culture system diversification for higher productivity
- Pangas catfish (Pangasianodon hypothalamus) culture with 3 times higher productivity and 2.5 times higher profit per unit area as compared to traditional carp culture practices
- Successful brood stock production under agro-climatic conditions of the state through poly-house overwintering and in-situ overwintering in earthen ponds
- Successful induced breeding of pangas catfish for the first time in northwest region of the country.
- Fresh water prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) culture - Monoculture & poly-culture with fresh water carps
- Induced breeding of catfishes - Heteropneustes fossilis (Singhi) and Clarias batrachus (Indian magur), without sacrificing males
- Natural breeding of murrels under simulated natural environment
- Introduction of new species - Kalbasu, Amur carp and Tilapia (GIFT)
- Pond Cage
Aquaculture - Rearing of high values food/ornamental fish in cages in deep fresh
water carp production ponds (suitable water surplus areas)
- Aquaculture Nutrition
- Herbal supplements and nutraceuticals for enhancing
growth, immunity and reproductive potential- Garlic, Ashwagandha, Amla, ginger Aloe vera, turmeric, neem, moringa, castor etc.
- Low cost feed formulation with regionally
available nutritive non-conventional feed resources- Duckweeds (Spirodela and lemna), Azolla, Eichhornia, pressmud, molasses etc.
- Live food culture
- Ornamental fisheries
Package and practices for brood stock development, captive breeding and larval rearing of ornamental fishes for quality seed production under climatic conditions of the state
- Egg layer - gold fish & koi carp
- Live bearing - platy, molly, swordtail, zebra fish, rosy barb
- Integrated fish farming
Fish cum duck farming model for regional - 40-50% saving on input cost for fish rearing and 50-60% higher income from sale of fish, duck eggs and meat
- Bioremediation of waste water (recycling/recuse)
Duckweed based bioremediation technology for recycling of dairy shed waste water for aquaculture - Recycling of treated water in aquaculture and utilization harvested duckweed biomass for fish feeding in fresh and dry form)
- Azolla Culture Technology
Improved Azolla culture technology high protein aqua-fodder production for livestock fish & ducks
