Winter Fish Farming: Double Income with Polyhouse & Nursery Tech

• Modern polyhouse & nursery techniques transform winter fish farming into a profitable venture, protecting fish from cold and boosting production.
• Senior Fish Inspector Indrapal Singh highlights polyhouse technology's effectiveness, especially for Pangasius fish (Kawai/Karai), ensuring continuous growth despite low water temperatures.
• Farmers can store Pangasius seeds safely in winter, stock them by late Feb/early March, and harvest in 3-4 months, potentially doubling or tripling income.
• Covering a 0.1-hectare nursery within a 1-hectare pond with tarpaulin/polythene helps maintain water temperature and protect fish seeds.
• Winter prices for Pangasius fish are significantly higher (₹130-140/kg) compared to pre-winter (₹100/kg), offering an additional profit of ₹30-40 per kg.

Why It Matters: Polyhouse and nursery tech boost winter fish farming profits by protecting fish and leveraging higher market prices.
